Improvements
Button — fancy layers and surface elevation by default
Filled Button variants (primary, secondary, tertiary, danger, danger-soft) now ship a gradient inner border, a top-down sheen, and shadow-surface elevation by default for a richer, more tactile look. The ghost and outline variants opt out of both and stay flat, and disabled buttons drop the shadow and layers.
ButtonGroup — unified elevation
ButtonGroup now carries a single group-level shadow while its segments render flat — no per-segment shadow or gradient frame — keeping the sheen on each segment for a cohesive, seamless group.
