Why there is no dark mode yet

People ask for it, and the honest answer is that it is not a switch — it is a second design system.

A black-and-white interface inverts badly. The monochrome palette carries hierarchy through contrast; flip the background and every one of those relationships changes. Borders that read as "subtle" on white read as "harsh" on near-black. The single border weight becomes too heavy. Shadows, which currently do almost nothing, suddenly need to do something.

Doing it properly means re-deriving the scale rather than inverting values — and then checking every tool, the forum, and the email templates in both modes.

We would rather ship it late than ship a half-inverted theme. In the meantime the interface respects prefers-reduced-motion and does not fight the system font size.
