 **胶囊要写 `pill`，不要写半高。** `height: 26px; border-radius: 13px` 在高度改成 28px 的那天
 就不再是胶囊了；`--radius-pill` 与高度无关。
 
+### 2.7 无封面的占位
+
+没有封面的书、影片按标题取一个色相（`web/src/ui/cover-tint.ts`，12 档、每档 30°），
+写进 `--cover-hue`，样式表把 `hsl(var(--cover-hue) 55% 55%)` 以 10–20% 混进当前主题的
+surface。这是「组件不写死颜色」的唯一例外，理由与封面图片相同：它是内容的颜色，不是界面的颜色。
+
+- **按标题取，不按位置取**：同一本书在书架、书库、搜索里颜色一致，刷新也不变。
+- **只混少量**：占位上的文字仍用 ink/muted，对比度由主题保证；深色模式下自然变成暗底微染。
+- 不加色相之前，一屏全是同一个色块，只能逐个读字找书。
