12.1The Problem: Figma-to-Code Drift

The gap between what designers create in Figma and what developers implement in code is a persistent source of visual bugs. A designer specifies padding: 16px. A developer estimates "about 16" and uses padding: 1rem (which is 16px at default font size but scales differently). Over months, these small differences compound into noticeable design drift.

Automated verification catches this drift before it compounds.
