## Frequently asked questions

### Should specificity be increased for every cascade conflict?

No. Inspect scope and source order first; a smaller rule or token is safer than nesting or !important.

### When is a fluid clamp value preferable to breakpoints?

Use clamp for smooth changes between known bounds; keep media queries for structural changes.

### How should a generated filter be reviewed?

Check the actual background, contrast, interaction states, and a no-filter fallback.
