Anatomy
| Panel | the shared layer at eighteen modules, padded a module, its parts a module apart |

| Title | Redaction 20 at 28px, sentence case, beside an ink cell holding the alert glyph |
| Body | Basier at 16/24 |
| Actions | right-aligned: a text button to back out, the one solid button to go on |
| Scrim | --scrim, burned at a 4px dot with the panel |
| Burn | 360ms both ways, fired at the press |

Danger is not red
Red is never a resting colour, so it does not mark danger. A choice that can’t be undone is told by its glyph and its words, and the destructive action is still the solid ink button.

A frame
A layer over the page keeps its 1px ink frame: it is a sheet laid over the page, not an item on it, and needs an edge against what is behind.
