#!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61645"
Admin: Update button and form field styles to align with the design
system.
Introduce a design system tokens file (`_tokens.scss`) based on the
WordPress Design System, providing standardized values for colors,
spacing, typography, border-radius, and elevation.
Update buttons to use CSS custom properties for theme color support across
all admin color schemes. Restyle primary buttons with filled theme-color
backgrounds, secondary buttons with outlined borders, and add a tertiary
button mixin. Adopt Gutenberg-style focus rings with outset box-shadows
and transparent outlines for Windows High Contrast mode compatibility.
Increase default input and select height from 30px to 40px, apply 2px
border-radius, and update border and placeholder colors to match the
design system. Restyle checkboxes and radios with filled theme-color
checked states and white indicator marks, using outset double-ring focus
styles consistent with Gutenberg.
Apply compact 32px sizing to list table controls, page-title-action
buttons, and toolbar elements. Convert tag input layouts and the major-
publishing-actions bar to flexbox.
Props fabiankaegy, joedolson, audrasjb, joen, phpbits, magaliechetrit,

Fixes #64547.
