  "why": "Only relevant if you are choosing a complete pre-styled system instead of assembling one.",
  "warn": "<b>A competing design system, not a complement.</b> Running it beside shadcn means two button styles, two dialogs and two accessibility layers. Also: v2 and v3 cannot coexist, and <b>Pro is still on v2</b> — a $249 purchase does not buy you v3 Pro.",
