type:audit
Use when designing or auditing icon systems, colors/badges/shapes, visual metaphors, interface signs, or naming-plus-visual surfaces that users misread. Covers semiotic reasoning across icon/index/symbol, signifier/signified, denotation/connotation/myth, color/shape/position/iconography, affordances, code/API signifiers, and semiotic-coherence audits. Do NOT use for actual UI wording (use `microcopy`), palette/typography craft (use `visual-design-foundations`), accessibility or contrast compliance (use `a11y`), formal class hierarchies, or word morphology rules.
