Details

Proportions in bar heights H, from WWDC25-219: tab 1.3H, pill inset 0.07H, search circle H, gap 0.3H.
Lifted, the selection lens is about 1.2× the pill's width and 1.5H tall.
The bar and the search droplet are one smooth union, so light and refraction follow the neck as it drips out.
Glyphs flip to white over dark covers, decided per glyph, never per pixel.
