Figma frames vs coded HTML: the Outlook thread again

Design handed us a Figma frame with nested auto-layout and a gradient that Outlook will flatten into a solid. We can rebuild it as tables in a day, or we can ask Brew to take the frame and emit inbox-safe HTML.

Neither path is 'design craft is dead.' Craft is knowing which CSS Outlook will drop. If you cannot read the table output, do not ship the export.

We still hand-code the nav and the legal footer. Brew gets the hero and the product grid. Hybrid is the adult answer.
