Report #24787

[frontier] Vision-based code generation fails when UI mockups use non-standard design systems

Pair screenshot analysis with design token extraction from Figma API or computed CSS styles to obtain exact specifications

Journey Context:
Converting UI mockups to frontend code fails when agents guess color values from screenshot compression artifacts or estimate spacing incorrectly. Screenshots lack information about design tokens, component hierarchies, and responsive breakpoints. Integrating with Figma's REST API to extract exact hex codes, typography scales, and auto-layout constraints, or using Playwright to read computed CSS styles from a live implementation, provides the precision that pixel analysis cannot achieve.
