Feedback the system talks back

Saved, warned, refused, empty — every outcome has a voice. Banners speak in three tones, overlays ask before anything irreversible, and even an empty page says the right kind of nothing.

Banners & overlays

Say it in place, ask before harm

Banners report in place — ok, warn, err. The modal holds work, the dialog asks yes/no (never window.confirm), and the drawer slides in for filters and detail without losing the page.

AdxModal / AdxDialog / AdxDrawer
All three are live — press one. Titles use the same two-weight pair as every heading.
dialog = confirm/ask (the app's useConfirm()) · drawer = side panel · modal = the centred popup
Empty states

Four kinds of nothing

An empty list means four different things — all done, nothing yet, no match, or a quiet admin queue — and each gets its own pictogram and tone. The mapping is fixed; never swap them.

AdxEmptyState
Nothing waiting on you
kind="clear" — the user is DONE — a positive feeling (default)
No documents yet
kind="blank" — no data yet / never created (neutral)
No matching results
kind="no-match" — searched or filtered to nothing
No pending requests
kind="admin" — internal / admin / ops pages
No matching results
size="sm" — small dropdowns and widgets (32px pictogram) · `sub` = the quiet second line
the 4-kind mapping is fixed · no "congratulations", no dashes around the text · in tables nest inside AdxEmptyRow

The loop closes, back to the start

That's the whole system — six chapters, one sheet of tokens. Round again from the raw material.
