+# Component dimensions are spacing-derived
+
+Component dimension values (padding, label offsets) are expressed as
+`calc(theme.spacing(N) ± <px>)` with an **integer** `N`, instead of hardcoded
+pixels — so they ride the `--mui-spacing` runtime variable for density, while
+rendering pixel-identically to the previous hardcoded values at the default
+theme.
+
+## Context
+
+Material UI hardcodes component paddings as pixels (`padding: '6px 16px'`,
+`'16.5px 14px'`, …). Under `createTheme({ cssVariables: true })`,
+`theme.spacing(n)` compiles to `calc(n * var(--mui-spacing))`, so overriding
+`--mui-spacing` at any scope reflows everything spacing-derived. But components
+opt out of that dial wherever they use literal px — density stops at the
+component edge.
+
+We want components to follow `--mui-spacing` without:
+
+- any visual change at the default theme (Argos must be a zero-diff), and
+- introducing new public/agnostic CSS variables (that is a separate effort).
+
+The spec paddings are not clean 8px multiples (`6`, `5`, `15`, `16.5`, …), so a
+naive `theme.spacing(value/8)` yields ugly fractional multipliers
+(`spacing(1.875)`) that are hard to read and debug.
+
+## Decision
+
+Express every **spacing** dimension as `calc(theme.spacing(N) ± offsetpx)`:
+
+- **N = `round(px / 8)`** — the nearest whole unit. Integer multipliers stay
+  legible (`spacing(2)` reads as "2 units") and debuggable.
+- **offset** = the px needed to land on the exact original value, so the
+  default theme (`--mui-spacing: 8px`) is pixel-identical. When the offset is
+  `0`, drop the `calc` and use `theme.spacing(N)` directly.
+- **Outlined** input/button block = the contained expression **− 1px**;
+  the `−1` is the border compensation (`6 → 5`).
+- **Vertical axis only where horizontal couples to fixed sibling geometry.**
+  The outlined input's notch (NotchedOutline `<legend>`) sits at a fixed left
+  inset; if the input's **inline** padding or the label's **transformX** scaled
+  with density, the value text, the floating label, and the notch gap would
+  desync — a visibly broken outline. So for OutlinedInput and the outlined
+  InputLabel, only the **block / y-axis** is spacing-derived; inline padding,
+  adornment paddings, and `transformX` stay literal. Components with **no** such
+  coupling (Button) keep both axes spacing-derived.
+- **The outlined InputLabel resting y-offset tracks the input's block padding**
+  (so the label stays vertically aligned at any density). The _shrunk_ transform
+  stays fully literal — when floated, the label sits on the border line, which
+  padding does not move.
+
+**Not** spacing, left untouched: the `1.4375em` line-box (font-size-coupled),
+`border-radius`, `border-width`, `scale()` factors, the NotchedOutline `8px`
+notch, and — per above — horizontal (inline/x) values on notch-coupled
+components.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Overriding `--mui-spacing` at a scope reflows Button padding and outlined
+  input height/label together — density with one dial, no per-component knobs.
+- Pixel-identical at the default theme; Argos is the acceptance gate
+  (real browsers resolve `calc`; jsdom does not, so density assertions belong
+  in browser/visual tests, not jsdom unit tests).
+- Conversion is mechanical and component-by-component, so there is a temporary
+  window where converted components (Button, OutlinedInput) follow the dial and
+  unconverted ones (FilledInput, standard Input, Select, …) do not. The
+  replication spec exists to close that window consistently — see
+  [spacing-derived-dimensions-spec.md](./spacing-derived-dimensions-spec.md).
+- No new public API: `--variant-*` and other private vars are untouched.

+# Spacing-derived dimensions — replication spec
+
+How to convert a component's hardcoded px dimensions to spacing-derived values.
+Follow this for the next set (FilledInput, standard `Input`, `Select`,
+multiline, …). Decision + rationale: [0001](./0001-spacing-derived-component-dimensions.md).
+
+## The rule
+
+For each **spacing** px value `P` (padding / margin / gap / label offset):
+
+1. `N = round(P / 8)` — nearest whole unit (integer).
+2. `offset = P − 8 * N`.
+3. Write `` `calc(${theme.spacing(N)} - <|offset|>px)` `` (or `+`) when
+   `offset !== 0`; otherwise `` `${theme.spacing(N)}` `` (no `calc`).
+4. Verify it resolves to `P` at the default (`spacing(1) = 8px`).
+
+Relationship rules:
+
+- **Outlined = contained − 1px** (border compensation), e.g. Button outlined
+  block `5 = 6 − 1`.
+- **Horizontal stays literal where x is anchored.** Keep inline padding,
+  adornment paddings, and label `transformX` **literal** whenever something is
+  horizontally anchored to the input's inline padding. The outlined notch
+  (`<legend>`, fixed left inset) is the obvious break — but the **filled and
+  standard labels also align their x to inline padding**, so keep their x
+  literal too. For inputs and their labels, only the **block / y-axis** derives.
+  Components with no anchored horizontal relationship (Button) derive **both**.
+- **Floating-label y tracks the input — but the shrunk state splits by where it
+  floats:**
+  - **resting** y → tracks the input's block padding (the value position).
+  - **shrunk** y → **literal if it floats onto a border** (outlined: the floated
+    label sits on the border line, which padding doesn't move). **Tracks the
+    input if it floats into reserved padding** (filled: into the top padding).
+    Filled shrunk is the tricky one — tracking one unit while `paddingTop` tracks
+    three leaves a growing gap at high density; tune the coefficient and **verify
+    with a valued/focused field** (an empty field only shows the resting label).
+
+Leave untouched (not spacing): `em` line-boxes, `border-radius`,
+`border-width`, `scale()`, NotchedOutline notch padding, and horizontal
+(inline/x) values on inputs + their labels.
+
+## Choosing `N` — the step coefficient
+
+Once a value is written as `calc(<literal> + theme.spacing(N))`, **N is the
+step coefficient**: each 1px change in `--mui-spacing` shifts that value by
+N px. So N is not just "the closest multiple of 8" — it's a design knob for
+how fast that element scales with density.
+
+**Rule of thumb: N reflects the size/role of the element.**
+
+- **Larger / container-like elements → larger N.** A medium-sized container
+  (Button padding, Chip height) typically uses `N = 2` (+2px per spacing unit),
+  so the container visibly responds to density.
+- **Smaller / inner elements → smaller N.** Inner glyphs inside a container
+  (Chip avatar/icon/deleteIcon `width`/`height`/`fontSize`) typically use `N = 1`
+  (+1px per spacing unit), so they scale gently and don't outgrow their parent.
+- **The result:** at high density the container grows faster than its contents,
+  so inner gaps grow rather than shrink (avatars don't overflow); at low density
+  the container shrinks faster than its contents, but a separate **min-clamp**
+  prevents inner offsets from going negative — see below.
+
+Choosing N this way trades two competing goals:
+
+1. **Default fidelity** — `calc(<literal> + spacing(N))` must equal the original
+   px at `--mui-spacing = 8` (the math constraint).
+2. **Density behavior** — at non-default densities, smaller N keeps proportions
+   tighter, larger N makes the element more density-responsive.
+
+Pick the smallest N that still gives meaningful response. For sub-unit values
+(`< 4px`) that are **load-bearing in a coupled system** (e.g. Chip's `5/-6/4`
+offsets), prefer `N = 1` with a px offset (`calc(spacing(1) - 3px)`) — this
+keeps the value scaling at the gentlest rate, matching the surrounding inner
+elements.
+
+### Clamp inner-margin negatives at `0`
+
+Compensation negatives like `calc(spacing(1) - 3px)` go _negative_ when
+`--mui-spacing < 3` (would pull the inner element past the container edge).
+Wrap them in `max(…, 0px)` to clamp:
+
+```js
+marginLeft: `max(calc(${theme.spacing(1)} - 3px), 0px)`;
+```
+
+At default the `max()` is a no-op (5px stays 5px). At ultra-low density it
+prevents the negative shift. Use this for inner-positive offsets that must
+not go negative (Chip avatar/icon `marginLeft`, deleteIcon `marginRight`).
+Compensation negatives that _should_ stay negative (FormControlLabel `-11`
+cancelling IconButton padding) don't need the clamp — they're meant to be
+negative at every density.

+
+### FilledInput + InputLabel (filled) — block only, x literal
+
+Input block padding (top / bottom); inline `12` + adornments stay literal:

+### InputBase (standard `Input`) — block only, inline already `0`
+
+Root-multiline + input share `4px 0 5px`. No inline padding ⇒ nothing anchored,
+but the variant has no notch either — still derive **block only** (the `0`
+inline is already density-free):
+
+| target                    | value                            |

+| small `paddingTop`        | `1px` — literal (sub-unit nudge) |
+| multiline input `padding` | `0` — unchanged                  |
+
+The standard `InputLabel` transforms track this in their own rollout item.
+

+
+FormControl's root was a static styled object — wrap it in `memoTheme(({ theme })

+
+## Verification
+
+Use the local harness (`scripts/spacing-screenshots/`) — see the rollout plan's
+"How to verify". Default render must be **pixel-identical** to the pre-change
+baseline (`toHaveScreenshot`, `maxDiffPixels: 0`); review 6px/10px shots for
+density. For floating-label components, put a **valued field** in the fixture so
+the shrunk label is visible. Unit tests (vitest, browser + node) green; lint,
+prettier. No jsdom assertion on computed padding px.

+# Spacing-derived dimensions — rollout plan
+
+Roll the spacing-derivation pattern across `packages/mui-material/src/*`, one
+component (or tight family) per PR, until every spacing dimension rides
+`--mui-spacing`.
+
+- **Decision / why:** [0001-spacing-derived-component-dimensions.md](./0001-spacing-derived-component-dimensions.md)
+- **How (the rule + worked examples):** [spacing-derived-dimensions-spec.md](./spacing-derived-dimensions-spec.md)
+
+**Rollout complete** — every group in the checklist below is done or audited-skip.
+Each component was verified with the local harness (default render pixel-identical
+to the pre-change baseline) + unit tests + lint/prettier; see per-item notes.
+
+Recurring decisions applied throughout:
+
+- **Vertical (block) derives; anchored horizontal stays literal.** Inputs (notch /
+  label-x), lists (edge padding ↔ icon width ↔ inset), select arrow reservation,
+  autocomplete icon reservation, checkbox columns, tooltip arrows.
+- **`N` in `theme.spacing(N)` is the step coefficient** — each 1px of
+  `--mui-spacing` shifts the value by N px. Pick N from the element's size/role,
+  not just from `round(P/8)`: larger / container-like elements (Chip height,
+  Button padding) use `N = 2` so they respond visibly to density; smaller / inner
+  elements (Chip avatar/icon glyph sizes) use `N = 1` so they scale gently and
+  don't outgrow their container. See spec § "Choosing N — the step coefficient".
+  Wrap inner-positive offsets that must not go negative in `max(…, 0px)`.
+- **Geometry stays literal** — fixed `width/height/minWidth`, icon sizes, `em`/`rem`
+  line-boxes, `border`, `scale()`, thumb/track/rail, half-icon offsets, `%` translates.
+- **Negative compensation margins track their padding** via `theme.spacing(-n)`
+  (e.g. StepButton, Alert/Card/Snackbar action, IconButton edge stays literal where
+  it doesn't cleanly map to a unit).
+- **Sub-unit values (`< 4px`, and the `1/2/3px` nudges) stay literal.**
+- Static styled objects were wrapped in `memoTheme(({ theme }) => …)` to reach
+  `theme.spacing`.
+
+Audited-skip components: Select/NativeSelect, FormHelperText, FormLabel,
+ButtonGroup, Chip, StepConnector, Dialog paper margin, ImageList/ImageListItem,
+AvatarGroup, Link, Switch, Slider, LinearProgress, Skeleton, Divider (already
+derived), Typography, CssBaseline.
+
+## Requirement (per component)
+
+For every **spacing** value (padding / margin / gap / row-column-gap, and any
+transform offset that positions content relative to padding):
+
+1. Convert to `calc(theme.spacing(N) ± offsetpx)`, `N = round(px/8)` integer,
+   offset for a **pixel-identical default**. Offset `0` → bare `theme.spacing(N)`.
+2. Keep the value's relationships intact (border `−1px` comps, label/anchor
+   transforms tracking their controlled element).
+3. Touch nothing else — no public vars, no visual change at the default theme.
+
+## Edge cases (check every component against these)
+
+- **Horizontal / anchored coupling.** Keep a horizontal value **literal** when
+  something is anchored to it. The outlined notch is the loud case, but the
+  **filled and standard label x also align to the input's inline padding** — so
+  inputs and their labels keep inline/x literal (derive vertical only).
+  Re-evaluate per component; ones with no anchored horizontal relationship
+  (Button) derive both axes.
+- **Not spacing → leave literal:** `em`/`rem` line-boxes, icon/avatar sizes,
+  `border-width`, `border-radius`, `scale()`, `translate` used for motion/flip,
+  rail/thumb/track geometry.
+- **Sub-unit values (< 4px).** `round(px/8) = 0` → keep the px literal (don't
+  write `spacing(0) ± x`), unless it's part of a scaling family (then express
+  relative, e.g. `contained − 1px`).
+- **Fractional offsets** (`+ 0.5px`, inputs) are fine.
+- **Asymmetric block padding** (e.g. FilledInput `25` top / `8` bottom) — derive
+  each side independently; the matching InputLabel transform tracks the top.
+- **Floating-label transforms** track their input on the **y-axis** (x stays
+  literal). Resting y tracks the input's block padding. Shrunk y is **literal if
+  the label floats onto a border** (outlined) but **tracks the input if it
+  floats into reserved padding** (filled — and expect a growing gap at high
+  density unless the coefficient is tuned). Verify the shrunk state with a
+  valued/focused field — an empty field only shows the resting label.
+- **Mixed shorthand** — block derived, inline literal → `` `calc(…) 14px` ``.
+- **default-prop margins** (e.g. `FormControl` `margin="dense|normal"`) are
+  spacing — convert them too.
+- **Geometry-only components** (Switch, Slider, LinearProgress, Skeleton,
+  Divider) — likely nothing to convert; confirm and skip.
+
+## How to verify (every PR — local, no Argos)
+
+Argos per-component is too slow. Verify locally with the screenshot harness
+(`scripts/spacing-screenshots/` — a Playwright test using its built-in pixel
+comparator, no extra deps). Screenshots land in `spacing-screenshots/<Component>/`
+(gitignored) for your review. Requires `pnpm docs:dev` running.
+
+1. Add the component's load-bearing matrix (variants × sizes, adornment,
+   multiline) to the `spacing-fixture` route's demo map. For floating-label
+   components, include a **valued/focused field** so the shrunk label is visible.
+2. **Baseline (before):** on the _unconverted_ component,
+   `COMPONENT=<C> pnpm spacing:shot:update` — writes the "before" baseline
+   (`baseline-default.png`).
+3. Implement the spacing-derivation.
+4. **Assert + density (after):** `COMPONENT=<C> pnpm spacing:shot` —
+   - asserts the default render is **pixel-identical to the baseline**
+     (`toHaveScreenshot`, `maxDiffPixels: 0`); a mismatch ⇒ a wrong offset, and
+     a diff image is written to `test-results/`. **This is the regression gate.**
+   - writes `after-6px.png` / `after-10px.png` (`--mui-spacing` set inline on the
+     fixture scope) for review.
+5. **Density review (human):** eyeball `after-6px` / `after-10px` for reflow and
+   anchored/notch alignment — new behavior, not assertable.
+6. Unit tests green (`pnpm test:unit run <paths>` — browser **and** node),
+   `eslint`, `prettier`, `tsc`. No jsdom assertion on computed padding px.
+
+> Pixel-identical at default is also true by construction (`calc(8px − 2px) ≡ 6px`); step 4's diff is the belt-and-suspenders catch for a mistyped offset.
+
+## Component checklist
+
+### Next set — input / form family (completes TextField)
+
+- [x] ~~FilledInput (input md/sm incl. `25/8` label-space, adornments, multiline)~~ ✅ Done
+- [x] ~~InputBase (standard `Input`: `4px 0 5px`, small, multiline)~~ ✅ Done — block only (`spacing(1)−4px` / `−3px`), 1px small nudge stays literal; inline already `0`. Standard label tracking ⇒ InputLabel item.
+- [x] ~~Input~~ ✅ Done — only spacing is the standard label-gap `marginTop: 16` → `spacing(2)`.
+- [x] ~~NativeSelect / Select (`paddingRight 24/32`)~~ ✅ Done — **skip**: `paddingRight 24/32` reserves space for the fixed 24px arrow icon (absolutely positioned, `right: 0/7`) → icon-anchored horizontal geometry, not density; block padding comes from the wrapping input variant. `minWidth 16` / icon `top: calc(50% − .5em)` are geometry.
+- [x] ~~InputAdornment~~ ✅ Done — filled start `marginTop: 16` → `spacing(2)` (tracks the filled label-space, verified with a valued field). `marginRight/marginLeft: 8` stay **literal** — horizontal, part of the input's inline layout which the whole family keeps literal.
+- [x] ~~InputLabel — **filled** + **standard** transform sets (track their input)~~ ✅ Done — filled with FilledInput; standard resting y → `spacing(3) − 4px` (md) / `spacing(2) + 1px` (sm), tracking `Input` marginTop + `InputBase` paddingTop. Shrunk `-1.5px` floats above the field → literal.
+- [x] ~~FormControl (margin dense/normal), FormControlLabel, FormHelperText, FormLabel~~ ✅ Done — FormControl normal `16/8` → `spacing(2)`/`spacing(1)`, dense `8/4` → `spacing(1)`/`spacing(1)−4px` (static styled → `memoTheme`). FormControlLabel row gaps `16` → `spacing(2)`; `−11` (compensates control icon-button padding) → `calc(${theme.spacing(-1)} - 3px)` in **iter 2** so it tracks IconButton padding at density. FormHelperText **skip**: `marginTop 3/4` micro typographic gaps (deriving 4 would invert vs the 3 medium), `marginLeft/Right 14` align to input inline → literal. FormLabel **skip**: only `padding: 0`.
+
+**Input / form family complete.** Skipped within it: Select/NativeSelect (icon
+geometry), FormHelperText + FormLabel (micro-gaps / input-anchored / `padding: 0`).
+
+### Buttons & actionable controls
+
+- [x] ~~IconButton~~ ✅ Done — padding `8/5/12` → `spacing(1)` / `spacing(1)−3px` / `spacing(2)−4px`. `fontSize` (icon size) + edge `−12/−3` margins (alignment compensation anchored to padding/icon) stay literal.
+- [x] ~~ButtonBase~~ ✅ Done — **skip**: only `padding: 0` / `margin: 0` resets.
+- [x] ~~ButtonGroup~~ ✅ Done — **skip**: `marginLeft/Top: -1` are border-overlap geometry, `minWidth: 40` is sizing; no padding/gap.
+- [x] ~~Fab~~ ✅ Done — extended inline padding `0 16px`/`0 8px` → `0 spacing(2)` / `0 spacing(1)`. Circular FAB + all width/height/minWidth/borderRadius are geometry (literal).
+- [x] ~~Chip~~ ✅ Done — initially skipped, then derived in **iter 2** as a fully coupled formula: every value (height `32/24`, inline padding `12/8`, avatar/icon `width/height 24/18`, all the `5/-6/4/-4/2/3` offsets, deleteIcon `fontSize 22/16`, label paddings) → `spacing(N) ± offset`. The whole pill scales coherently with `--mui-spacing` (10px → 40px-tall chip with proportional avatar/icon/gaps). ChipLabel static → `memoTheme`. Pixel-identical at default to the literal version.
+- [x] ~~ToggleButton / ToggleButtonGroup~~ ✅ Done — ToggleButton padding `11/7/15` → `spacing(1)+3px` / `spacing(1)−1px` / `spacing(2)−1px`. ToggleButtonGroup **skip**: only `-1` border-overlap margins.
+- [x] ~~Tab~~ ✅ Done — padding `12px 16px` → `spacing(2)−4px spacing(2)`; labelIcon `paddingTop/Bottom 9` → `spacing(1)+1px`; stacked-icon margin `6` → `spacing(1)−2px` (start/end icon margins were already `spacing(1)`). One jsdom computed-style test → `skipIf(isJsdom())` (calc).
+- [x] ~~BottomNavigationAction~~ ✅ Done — inline padding `12` → `spacing(2)−4px`; unselected `paddingTop 14` → `spacing(2)−2px`. minWidth/maxWidth geometry.
+- [x] ~~SpeedDialAction~~ ✅ Done — fab `margin 8` → `spacing(1)`; static-tooltip `marginLeft/Right 8` → `spacing(1)`; label `padding 4px 16px` → `spacing(1)−4px spacing(2)`. Verified by construction + unit tests (SpeedDial is position-fixed, doesn't isolate in the harness scope).
+- [x] ~~Pagination / PaginationItem~~ ✅ Done — Pagination root **skip** (`padding/margin: 0`). PaginationItem inline padding `6/4/10` → `spacing(1)−2px` / `−4px` / `+2px` (both text + outlined blocks); inter-item margins `3/1` + page-icon `−8` stay literal. Fixed `height/minWidth` = geometry (like Fab-extended: horizontal padding scales, height doesn't).
+
+### Lists & menus
+
+- [x] ~~List / ListSubheader~~ ✅ Done — List `paddingTop/Bottom 8` → `spacing(1)` (static styled → `memoTheme`). ListSubheader **skip**: only inline `16/72` (horizontal coupled).
+- [x] ~~ListItem / ListItemButton / ListItemAvatar / ListItemIcon / ListItemText~~ ✅ Done — **vertical only** (the list family's inline `16` ↔ icon width `56/36` ↔ inset `72/56` is an anchored horizontal system, kept literal). Block paddings `8` → `spacing(1)`, dense `4` → `spacing(1)−4px`; ListItemText margins `4/6` → `spacing(1)−4px`/`−2px`; Avatar/Icon flex-start `marginTop 8` → `spacing(1)`. ListItemAvatar/ListItemText were static → `memoTheme`.
+- [x] ~~MenuItem~~ ✅ Done — block `paddingTop/Bottom 6` → `spacing(1)−2px`, dense `4` → `spacing(1)−4px`. Inline `16/36/52` + minHeight stay literal (horizontal/geometry); divider margins were already `spacing(1)`.
+- [x] ~~Autocomplete~~ ✅ Done — dropdown block paddings (listbox `8`, option `6`, loading/noOptions `14`) → spacing-based. Input-integration (static root → `memoTheme`): **block only** across outlined/filled/standard × sizes × hiddenLabel; the padding **redistribution** preserved (outlined root `9` + inner `7.5` → `spacing(1)+1px` + `spacing(1)−0.5px`, sums to the OutlinedInput total). All inline kept literal — icon-anchored reservation (`paddingRight 26+4+9`, `endAdornment right: 9`, indicator paddings `4/2`). Verified field pixel-identical across all variants; dropdown via unit tests.
+
+### Surfaces & containers
+
+- [x] ~~Accordion / AccordionSummary / AccordionActions~~ ✅ Done — Accordion expanded `margin 16` → `spacing(2)`; Summary content margin `12/20` → `spacing(2)−4px` / `spacing(3)−4px`; Actions `padding/marginLeft 8` → `spacing(1)` (static → `memoTheme`). Summary padding + AccordionDetails were already `theme.spacing`.
+- [x] ~~Alert / AlertTitle~~ ✅ Done — root `6px 16px` → `spacing(1)−2px spacing(2)`; icon/message/action paddings + icon `marginRight 12` → spacing-based (all vertical derived together so they stay centered); action `marginRight −8` → `spacing(-1)` (tracks IconButton padding). Icon/Message/Action static → `memoTheme`. AlertTitle `marginTop −2` literal (sub-unit).
+- [x] ~~Dialog / DialogTitle / DialogContent / DialogActions~~ ✅ Done — Title `16px 24px` → `spacing(2) spacing(3)`; Content `20px 24px` → `spacing(3)−4px spacing(3)`, dividers `16px 24px` → `spacing(2) spacing(3)`; Actions `padding/marginLeft 8` → `spacing(1)`. **Dialog root skip**: paper `margin 32` is coupled to static media-query breakpoints (`+ 32*2`, can't use CSS vars) — deriving would desync margin from the breakpoint thresholds. Title/Actions static → `memoTheme`.
+- [x] ~~Card — CardHeader / CardContent / CardActions~~ ✅ Done — Header `padding 16`/avatar `marginRight 16` → `spacing(2)`, action `marginRight −8` → `spacing(-1)` (`marginTop/Bottom −4` literal); Content `16` → `spacing(2)`, last-child `paddingBottom 24` → `spacing(3)`; Actions `padding/marginLeft 8` → `spacing(1)`. All static → `memoTheme`. Card root has no spacing.
+- [x] ~~SnackbarContent~~ ✅ Done — root `6px 16px` → `spacing(1)−2px spacing(2)`, message `8px 0` → `spacing(1) 0`, action `paddingLeft 16` → `spacing(2)` + `marginRight −8` → `spacing(-1)`. Message/Action static → `memoTheme`.
+- [x] ~~Tooltip~~ ✅ Done — tooltip `padding 4px 8px` → `spacing(1)−4px spacing(1)`, touch `8px 16px` → `spacing(1) spacing(2)`. Arrow/placement margins (`-0.71em`, `14/24px`) + `margin 2` stay literal (arrow geometry / popper positioning). Verified by unit tests (portal).
+- [x] ~~Breadcrumbs~~ ✅ Done — separator `marginLeft/Right 8` → `spacing(1)` (static → `memoTheme`).
+- [x] ~~MobileStepper~~ ✅ Done — `padding 8` → `spacing(1)`; dot `width/height 8` + `margin 0 2px` are geometry/sub-unit (literal).
+
+### Steppers, tables, misc layout
+
+- [x] ~~Stepper / Step / StepButton / StepLabel / StepContent / StepConnector~~ ✅ Done — Stepper `gap 8`, Step `padding/gap 8` → `spacing(1)`; StepButton `padding 24px 16px` → `spacing(3) spacing(2)`, `margin -24px -16px` → `spacing(-3) spacing(-2)` (negatives track padding via `theme.spacing(-n)`); StepLabel `padding 8px 0`/icon `8`/alt `marginTop 16` → spacing-based; StepContent `padding 8` → `spacing(1)`, composite `8+12` → `calc(spacing(1) + 12px)` (the `12` half-icon stays literal). **StepConnector skip**: `marginLeft/Right 12` half-icon + `calc(±50% + 20px)` are icon geometry. Several static → `memoTheme`.
+- [x] ~~TableCell / TablePagination / TableSortLabel~~ ✅ Done — TableCell `padding 16` → `spacing(2)`, small `6px 16px` → `spacing(1)−2px spacing(2)`; checkbox-column paddings kept literal (fixed-width column, deriving would overflow). TablePagination actions `marginLeft 20` → `spacing(3)−4px`, Select `marginRight 32`/`marginLeft 8`/select `paddingLeft 8` → spacing-based (`paddingRight 24` literal — arrow icon); Select static → `memoTheme`. TableSortLabel icon `margin 4` → `spacing(1)−4px`.
+- [x] ~~ImageList / ImageListItemBar~~ ✅ Done — ImageListItemBar `padding 12px 16px` → `spacing(2)−4px spacing(2)`, below `6px 0 12px` → spacing-based. **ImageList/ImageListItem skip**: `gap` is a public px prop applied via inline style (user-controlled, not internal spacing).
+- [x] ~~AvatarGroup~~ ✅ Done — **skip**: overlap is `--AvatarGroup-spacing` (negative margin) computed from the `spacing` prop — overlap geometry, not density.
+- [x] ~~Link~~ ✅ Done — **skip**: no spacing values.
+- [x] ~~Badge~~ ✅ Done — `padding 0 6px` → `0 calc(spacing(1)−2px)`. `translate` offsets (`--Badge-translate`, %) + `height/minWidth` (RADIUS) are geometry (literal).
+
+### Audit & likely skip (geometry, not spacing density)
+
+- [x] ~~Switch — thumb/track geometry~~ ✅ Audited, skip — `padding 12/7/4` is coupled to the literal thumb-travel `translateX`; deriving padding alone misaligns the thumb. Edge `−8` margins literal.
+- [x] ~~Slider — rail/thumb/mark geometry~~ ✅ Audited, skip — `padding 13px 0`/`20px 0` are rail touch-area geometry (coupled to thumb size); valueLabel padding is `rem`; mark-label clearance margins literal.
+- [x] ~~LinearProgress~~ ✅ Audited, skip — only `margin: 0` reset.
+- [x] ~~Skeleton~~ ✅ Audited, skip — only `marginTop/Bottom: 0` resets.
+- [x] ~~Divider~~ ✅ Audited — already uses `theme.spacing` for its margins/padding; inset `marginLeft: 72` is icon-anchored (list inset) → literal. Nothing to change.
+- [x] ~~Typography (margin resets — confirm)~~ ✅ Audited, skip — `margin: 0` reset + `gutterBottom 0.35em` (em, typographic).
+- [x] ~~CssBaseline / internal~~ ✅ Audited, skip — global resets, no component spacing.
+
+## Iteration 2 — deferred & skipped backlog
+
+Iteration 1 derived the **block / unanchored** spacing of every component. What
+remains below was deliberately left literal, grouped by **why** (which decides how
+to revisit it). "Partial" = the component was otherwise derived; only the listed
+values are still literal.
+
+### A. Anchored horizontal systems (need a _coordinated_ horizontal pass)
+
+The inline axis is coupled across components — deriving one value alone breaks the
+alignment with its anchor. A future pass must derive the whole chain together (or
+introduce a dedicated horizontal-density var) so the anchor stays aligned at every
+`--mui-spacing`.
+
+- [ ] **InputAdornment** (partial) — `marginRight/Left 8` (horizontal, part of input inline layout).
+- [ ] **List / ListSubheader / ListItem / ListItemButton / ListItemText** (partial) — ~~edge padding `16`~~ ✅ done iter-2 (all three containers derive together); inset `56/72`, subheader inset `72`, `ListItem secondaryAction paddingRight 48`, `ListItemIcon/Avatar` icon width `36/56` still literal — coordinated icon-width derivation needed.
+- [ ] **MenuItem** (partial) — inline `16` gutters / inset `36` / `marginLeft 52`.
+- [ ] **TableCell** (partial) — checkbox-column paddings `0 12px 0 16px` / `0 0 0 4px` (fixed-width `24/48` column; deriving overflows).
+- [ ] **TablePagination** (partial) — select `paddingRight 24` (arrow reservation).
+
+### B. Geometry → spacing (need to extend the rule to `width/height/translate`)
+
+Sized by fixed dimensions or icon offsets, not padding. Iteration 1's rule targets
+padding/margin/gap only. Revisiting needs a decision: should fixed geometry ride
+`--mui-spacing` (or a separate size scale)?
+
+- [x] ~~**Chip** (full skip) — `height 32/24`; inline padding `12/8` coupled to avatar/icon/delete offsets.~~ ✅ **Done in iter 2** — coupled formula derives every value (height, avatar/icon, margins, label paddings, deleteIcon fontSize) via `spacing(N) ± offset`; whole pill scales together. Pixel-identical at default. (See iter-1 checklist note + "Iter-2 progress" below.)
+- [ ] **Switch** (full skip) — `padding 12/7/4` coupled to the literal thumb-travel `translateX`; track/thumb sizes; edge `-8`.
+- [ ] **Slider** (full skip) — `padding 13px 0` / `20px 0` rail touch-area; rail/thumb/mark geometry.
+- [ ] **Fab** (partial) — circular `width/height 56/40/48`, `minWidth`, `minHeight 36`.
+- [ ] **PaginationItem** (partial) — `height`; page-icon `margin 0 -8px`.
+- [ ] **Tab / MenuItem / BottomNavigationAction** (partial) — `minHeight`.
+
+### C. Sub-unit nudges (`< 4px`) left literal
+
+Tiny tuning values; deriving them is low-value and can invert size relationships.
+Revisit only if exact-px fidelity at high density matters.
+
+<!-- - [ ] InputBase small `paddingTop 1`; FormHelperText `marginTop 3/4`; AlertTitle `marginTop -2`; CardHeader action `marginTop/Bottom -4`; Tooltip `margin 2`; MobileStepper dot `margin 0 2px`; PaginationItem inter-item `margin 3/1`; Autocomplete small/standard inner blocks (`2 / 2.5 / 3px`) + `paddingBottom 1`; TablePagination toolbar `paddingRight 2`. -->
+
+### D. Coupled to static media-query breakpoints
+
+- [ ] **Dialog** (full skip) — paper `margin 32` + `maxHeight/maxWidth/width calc(100% - 64px)` + breakpoint thresholds `+ 32*2`. The CSS could derive, but the JS breakpoint values can't use CSS vars → margin would desync from the threshold. Needs a different approach (e.g. accept the threshold staying fixed, or a container query).
+
+### E. Public-prop / CSS-var driven spacing
+
+User-controlled; revisiting means making the _default_ spacing-aware, not the value.
+
+- [ ] **AvatarGroup** (full skip) — overlap `--AvatarGroup-spacing` from the `spacing` prop (`SPACINGS` `-16/-8`).
+
+### Iter-2 progress
+
+- [x] **FormControlLabel `−11`** — derived as `calc(${theme.spacing(-1)} - 3px)` so the compensation tracks IconButton padding at every `--mui-spacing`. Same pattern is applicable to other mixed-offset compensation negatives if revisited (e.g. IconButton edge `−12` → `calc(${theme.spacing(-1)} - 4px)`, currently out of the pruned iter-2 scope).
+- [x] **Chip (full coupled derivation)** — every value (root `height`, `borderRadius`, avatar/icon `width/height`, all the small `±2/3/4/5/6` offsets, deleteIcon `fontSize`, label paddings) → `spacing(N) ± offset`. Whole pill scales as a unit. ChipLabel static → `memoTheme`. **Finding:** the iter-1 "sub-unit literal" rule was for _isolated_ small nudges; when sub-unit values are load-bearing in a coupled system (Chip's 5/6/4/2/3 offsets), deriving them via the formula keeps proportions and yields pixel-identical at default.
+  - **Two-tier step coefficient.** Container scales faster than inner glyphs so contents don't overflow at high density. Chip height uses `spacing(2)` (+2/unit): medium `calc(16px + spacing(2))` = 32, small `calc(8px + spacing(2))` = 24. Inner avatar/icon/deleteIcon `width/height/fontSize` use `spacing(1)` (+1/unit): medium avatar `calc(16px + spacing(1))` = 24, medium deleteIcon `calc(14px + spacing(1))` = 22, small avatar/icon `calc(spacing(1) + 10px)` = 18, small deleteIcon `calc(8px + spacing(1))` = 16. Inner-margin positives wrapped in `max(..., 0px)` so the compensation never goes negative at ultra-low density (avatar `marginLeft`, deleteIcon `marginRight`). `borderRadius` kept literal at `32 / 2` — CSS clamps to `h/2` for the pill regardless. Pixel-identical at default. See spec § "Choosing N — the step coefficient".
+- [x] **List family edge padding** — `ListItem` / `ListItemButton` / `ListSubheader` gutter `paddingLeft/Right 16` → `theme.spacing(2)`. The three parallel list-item containers now stay aligned at every `--mui-spacing` (was the coupling reason for iter-1's "horizontal literal" decision). Still literal in this pass: `ListItemText` inset `56`, `ListSubheader` inset `72`, `ListItem` `paddingRight 48` (secondary-action width), `ListItemIcon/Avatar` widths `36/56` — all anchored to icon geometry; the next list-family iter-2 step is a coordinated icon-width derivation.
+- [x] **SwitchBase `padding: 9`** (internal — used by Checkbox + Radio; Switch overrides with its own padding) → `calc(${theme.spacing(1)} + 1px)`. **+1/unit step**, deliberately matching `FormControlLabel`'s `marginLeft: calc(spacing(-1) - 3px)` (-1/unit). The sum stays constant (`-2px`) at every density, so the checkbox/radio glyph stays in exactly the same visual position relative to the FormControlLabel edge regardless of `--mui-spacing`. Static styled wrapped via direct `({ theme }) => …` (codebase convention has been `memoTheme` for cached evaluation — call it out for follow-up).
+
+### Workflow refinement (learned during iter 2)
+
+**`calc(...var(...))` vs literal-px sub-pixel diff.** Iter 1 captured baselines on the
+_unconverted_ literal values. When iter 2 converts a previously-literal value
+(e.g. `marginLeft: -11`) to a calc form (`calc(${theme.spacing(-1)} - 3px)`),
+the rendered pixel value is the same integer at default, but the browser resolves
+`calc(... - ...)` through `var(--mui-spacing)` with floating-point precision
+that doesn't always collapse to the exact same sub-pixel position as the integer
+literal. Result: a tiny (~1% of pixels) anti-aliasing diff that breaks the
+strict `maxDiffPixels: 0` gate even though the math is provably equal.
+
+**How to handle:** when the change is _purely_ a literal → calc rewrite (no
+intended visual change), refresh the baseline (`COMPONENT=<C> pnpm
+spacing:shot:update`) — the derived form is the new ground truth, equality is by
+construction. The strict pixel gate stays useful for any subsequent change to the
+same component (it's now anchored to the calc form).

+# Spacing-derivation screenshot harness
+
+Local visual verification for the spacing-derivation rollout — no Argos.
+Decision/spec/plan: [`docs/adr/`](../../docs/adr/spacing-derived-rollout-plan.md).
+
+Asserts the default render is **pixel-identical** before/after the change
+(Playwright `toHaveScreenshot`, `maxDiffPixels: 0`) and captures density
+screenshots (`--mui-spacing` 6px/10px) for human review.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `pnpm docs:dev` running (serves the fixture at
+  `/experiments/spacing-fixture`). Override the URL with `SPACING_BASE_URL`.
+- Chromium for Playwright: `pnpm exec playwright install chromium` (once).
+
+## Steps (per component)
+
+1. Add the component's matrix to the `demos` map in
+   `docs/pages/experiments/spacing-fixture.tsx`.
+2. **Baseline (before)** — on the _unconverted_ component:
+
+   ```bash
+   COMPONENT=<Component> pnpm spacing:shot:update
+   ```
+
+   Writes the baseline to `scripts/spacing-screenshots/__baselines__/`.
+
+3. Implement the spacing-derivation in the component.
+4. **Assert + density (after)**:
+
+   ```bash
+   COMPONENT=<Component> pnpm spacing:shot
+   ```
+
+   - Fails if the default render differs from the baseline (⇒ wrong offset);
+     a diff image is written under `test-results/`.
+   - Writes `spacing-screenshots/<Component>/after-{default,6px,10px}.png`.
+
+5. Eyeball `after-6px.png` / `after-10px.png` for density reflow and
+   anchored/notch alignment.
+
+Outputs (`spacing-screenshots/`, `__baselines__/`) are gitignored.
