# medium: Visual Theme & Source Evidence

## Source reviewed

- Source: https://medium.com
- Title/evidence: Medium: Read and write stories.
- Fetch status: Fetched https://medium.com with status 200

## Visual interpretation

This guide translates the source into an AI-readable report/style system. Treat directly observed values as evidence and generated values as implementation-safe approximations. Preserve the source's broad mood, density, typography direction, spacing rhythm, and component language without copying proprietary brand assets.

## Mode behaviour

Observed theme/dark-mode markers in fetched html/css. If a dark or light inverse palette is not explicitly present in the source, derive it using `tools/design/colour-palette.md`, label it as calculated, and validate text, badge, link, and border contrast before use.
