Before I push this library to everyone, make it easy for designers to pick the right assets — surface the primary logo and color palette at the top, group icons by use case, mark any elements that are still 'draft' or 'do not use', and add a short note for Javier explaining where the packaging files will change.

Become — change the pattern
