# _ButtonDestructive

_Composition primitive, consumed by leaf keys via `composes`._

Source: `client/lib/theme/vueda-tailwind/controls/index.js`

> The `--destructive` fill: solid destructive background in light mode, 60%-mix in dark so the chip stays legible against `--background` at rest, destructive-foreground text, and a destructive-tinted focus outline. Hover and active swap to the `--destructive-hover` / `--destructive-active` lightness steps (darker in light mode, lighter in dark). Reserve for actions that delete user data or are otherwise irreversible; menu / list destructive items use a colour-only recipe.
