# Legacy Aqua Freeze (Reference Only)

## Status

This document records the outcome of the Aqua-style exploration and its freeze status.

- Status: `legacy`
- Active use: `archive reference`
- Purpose: preserve the explored style decisions as a reusable reference snapshot bundle

## Locked Decisions (Aqua Exploration)

- Aqua-inspired component language was explored across buttons, segmented controls, tables, filter controls, modal chrome, and status badges.
- The exploration introduced a consistent control-surface vocabulary and modal/window chrome experiments.
- The exploration is preserved as an archive snapshot for reference and rollback safety.

## Current Direction

- Active visual baseline for the demo/scaffold is **Vapor Soft / Vapor Night**.
- Aqua artifacts remain archived in this module and are not the active baseline.
- This document remains an archive record of the freeze/snapshot event and stored artifacts.

## Storage / Bundle

- Legacy Aqua snapshot bundle: `ui-theme-aqua-legacy`
- Bundle manifest: `exports/bundles/ui-theme-aqua-legacy.yaml`
- Snapshot assets and notes: `kit/patterns/theme-aqua-legacy/`

## Usage Policy

- The snapshot may be used as a legacy reference, migration source, or comparison artifact when explicitly needed.
- The active baseline is maintained in the live demo/scaffold styles, not in this frozen snapshot file.
