Design systems across micro-frontends
WHAT IT TESTS: adapting a design system to independently deployed front ends. OUTLINE: shared singletons and version alignment, token-based theming, distribution via shared scopes, stronger governance.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you grasp how independent deployment reshapes a design system. ANSWER OUTLINE: micro-frontends ship separately so each may pin a different version, risking duplicate React instances and visual drift; mitigate with shared singletons via module federation or import maps, runtime theming through CSS variables and tokens, and clear version-alignment policies; distribution shifts toward shared runtime scopes plus packages; governance tightens with version ranges, deprecation windows, and adoption tracking.
