The 4 action buttons at the top of /payroll/ were previously a mix
of btn-outline-info / btn-primary / btn-outline-success /
btn-outline-warning — three different treatments, with a lone solid
btn-primary (Batch Pay) pulling the eye disproportionately. Konrad
asked for a more uniform + pastel look.
New .btn-action-soft base class with per-button colour modifiers:
- Worker Lookup → soft blue (new --btn-action-lookup tokens)
- Batch Pay → soft amber (new --btn-action-pay tokens;
slightly deeper saturation to preserve its
"primary" role without breaking the uniform look)
- Add Adjustment → reuses --badge-bonus-* (green, "adding money"
semantic matches Bonus)
- Price Overtime → reuses --badge-overtime-* (mauve, same colour
as the Overtime badge on the Adjustments tab —
so the button matches the data it acts on)
All 4 now share:
- No border, solid pastel fill, contrasting text
- Same height, padding, border-radius (0.5rem)
- Subtle box-shadow lift on hover (filter: brightness)
- 1px press-down on active
- Accessible focus-visible outline in --accent
- Icons inherit text colour
Net CSS change: 4 new tokens (2 per theme × 2 themes) + 5 new
classes. Removes shadow-sm, btn-sm, btn-md-normal, fw-bold
one-offs — all handled by the base class.
docs/design-tokens.md updated to record the new token pairs.
Tests: 69/69.

Konrad caught that /payroll/?status=loans was still using Bootstrap
defaults (bg-primary for Loan, bg-info for Advance) while the other
three tabs had moved to the semantic palette. The Preview-payslip
modal's Active Loans card had the same inconsistency in its JS-built
badge.
- Added .advance-flag-badge as a sibling to .loan-flag-badge; both
just reference the existing --badge-loan-* / --badge-advance-*
tokens so no new colours introduced.
- /payroll/?status=loans row badge: bg-primary/bg-info → loan-flag-
badge/advance-flag-badge.
- Worker-lookup / Preview-payslip modal JS: same swap on the badge
className.
Loan-family items now wear the same amber/blue colour pair on every
tab + modal they appear on. Transactional status (Active/Paid Off)
stays on Bootstrap greens/yellows — they're lifecycle, not type.
docs/design-tokens.md updated to record the new class + every place
the --badge-loan-* / --badge-advance-* tokens now appear.
Tests: 69/69.

New doc covering the semantic colour palette: every badge token, its
hex values in both themes, its CSS class, and where it's used across
the app. Categorises tokens into "type-of-adjustment" (custom semantic
palette) vs "transactional state" (Bootstrap defaults) and explains
why the two must not share colours.
Intended to be the single source of truth for UI colour decisions.
