Design System
Beacon is a brand spoke of the ESA Ecology design system. The hub was itself ported from Beacon's Angular library, so Beacon barely diverges — it inherits Ecology's component set and structure, then re-points the handful of semantic tokens that differ (true teal, warm grays, compact form sizes). This documentation restates that brand layer and shows the inherited components wearing it.
The spoke model
Three token tiers cascade. Primitives (raw color ramps, the spacing and
radius scales) never move. Semantic roles (--color-primary,
--color-border, --font-sans…) are what components actually read —
and what the Beacon theme re-points. Component tokens fine-tune individual
parts. Because every esa-* component reads only the semantic layer, overriding
that one layer re-skins the entire kit with no forks.
