- Icon component (Lucide shapes, ISC), currentColor, decorative (the control keeps its words in aria-label/title).
- Colour roles: --action (primary, filled), --ok (approve, publish), --danger (log out, delete, reject); .btn variants
  and .icon-btn; light and dark.
- Header: admin, moderation, saved, word book, account/sign in, font, theme as icons; log out in red.
- Review: save/send filled, approve/publish green, return plain, reject red, with icons. Account: save, log out, password,
  delete. Reading pages: edit, history, arrange, tag. E-books: add, download, covers; the reader's controls as icons.
- نشانات is now محفوظ شدہ; favourite writers have their own page, پسندیدہ لکھاری (/writers).
