We dropped Material 3
summary
Explains why the team stopped using Material 3: tonal palettes from a seed color changed exact brand hex values and made dynamic color and dark-mode behavior hard to control, and migrating exposed 29 color roles and deep token indirection. Describes building an independent design-system module in Jetpack Compose that reuses reference/system token concepts, exposes composition locals for color and typography, wraps Material components (handling ripple, snackbar/state) and restores exact brand colors with simpler theming.
