A Bug Report That Exposes the Limits of Dev Mode

Your team uses Figma Dev Mode and a shared token library, and handoff has gotten noticeably faster — engineers pull spacing, color, and component values directly from the file. After a feature ships, a bug report comes in: "the save button shows a spinner forever if the network request takes more than a few seconds, and there's no error state at all if it fails — it just silently does nothing."

  1. Why did good tooling (Dev Mode, tokens) not prevent this bug from reaching production?
  2. What should have been part of the original design file, and wasn't?
  3. Describe a concrete handoff practice that would catch this category of gap before implementation next time, not after a bug report.
