📋 What was this drill?

Drill: Clone PostHog analytics dashboard: build, critique against real PostHog, iterate.

Interpretation: Building PostHog's in-app trends/insights dashboard — the dark analytics product surface (not the marketing parchment site). Using calibrated product-surface tokens: near-black canvas (#0d0e10), hedgehog blue (#2d4ed8) CTAs, stroke-only sparklines, power-tool density (~28-30px sidebar rows). Testing whether the calibration notes transfer to a clean from-scratch build.
