- * settled against a working stopwatch in M7, not guessed at in the scaffolding.
+ * The Material 3 Expressive default with **tabular figures** on the display,
+ * headline and title roles. A clock app is mostly one enormous number, and a
+ * readout whose glyph columns change width as its digits change jitters on
+ * every tick — so every existing readout (the timer row's `headlineLarge`, the
+ * setup panel's `displayMedium`, the live pill's `titleMedium`) is fixed here,
+ * with no call-site change anywhere.
+ *
+ * Body and label roles keep proportional figures: prose is not a column of
+ * numbers, and proportional digits read better inside a sentence.
