Elevation

Restrained shadows that support, never replace, boundaries.

Elevation is intentionally restrained because the library ships behavior and accessible structure rather than a visual theme.

TokenUse
--hui-shadow-noneFlat surfaces and the default state.
--hui-shadow-smSmall raised controls or cards.
--hui-shadow-mdPopovers and menus.
--hui-shadow-lgDialogs, overlays, and prominent transient UI.

Use elevation together with a surface and border role; do not rely on shadow alone to communicate a boundary. The upstream shadow primitives are --ds-elevation-shadow-*.
