fix(motion): cap composer hover/active scales to global tactile range - #213
Merged
Conversation
Kenji aesthetic-audit reminder 9 (msg `bacde601` 2026-06-24, finding #1): composer micro-interaction scales drifted way past the global `button:active { scale(0.97) }` press range. Before: - `.maka-composer-tool-button:hover` — `scale(1.08)` - `.maka-composer-tool-button:active` — `scale(0.94)` - `.maka-composer-send-button:hover` — `scale(1.06)` - `.maka-composer-send-button:active` — `scale(0.96)` Tool buttons are quiet utility affordances (mic, attach) at the bottom of the composer; they don't deserve CTA-sized travel. 1.08 hover + 0.94 active reads as bouncy and tugs the eye away from the composer text input. The send button is a real CTA so it gets a hair more than the tool buttons but still inside the tactile range. After: - tool button: hover `scale(1.02)`, active `scale(0.97)` - send button: hover `scale(1.03)`, active `scale(0.97)` All within the global tactile press range. Single file, 4 value tweaks. No overlap with PR #211 (live-dot keyframes at lines 2231 / 11645 / 12634, far from this composer block at 6655-6706).

Bug
Composer micro-interaction scales drifted way past the global `button:active { scale(0.97) }` press range:
Tool buttons (mic, attach) are quiet utility affordances at the bottom of the composer; CTA-sized travel pulls the eye away from the input. The send button is a real CTA, so it gets a hair more travel than the tool buttons but still inside the tactile range. Active scales all unify on the global `0.97`.
