Design-polish pass — focused on the List view (per owner direction). The loudest problem there: every undated row showed a stark, full-contrast
mm/dd/yyyyplaceholder plus a calendar icon, and with 8+ of them stacked the Due column read like a data-entry spreadsheet rather than a calm Asana-style list. Ordinary future dates were also rendered at the same heavy weight as overdue ones, so nothing stood out.Fix (CSS-only, tokens only)
var(--tf-text-muted)(matching the read-only date variant and Asana's quiet dates), so empty placeholders and ordinary upcoming dates recede.mm/dd/yyyycalendar-picker icon is hidden at rest and revealed on row-hover/focus (extends the existing DES#13 quiet-at-rest treatment; desktop hover-capable pointers only — touch keeps it).Before → after
Before: every row's Due column showed a bold
mm/dd/yyyy+ icon; overdue and ordinary dates looked identical.After (quiet defaults, overdue still red):
Full quality gate green; presentational-only. Verified against the sandbox (
