The question

Date cells render at body size in eleven record tables and one step smaller in four: on the organization page, the grants table's activated and ended dates, the members table's joined date and the tier-change table's date; and on the person page, the memberships table's joined date. The page anatomy says nothing about the size of a cell, so both are defensible and neither is the rule. Which is it?

What depends on the answer

Four tables today, and every table written after the rule exists. Nothing else: no behaviour, no data, no layout beyond those cells.

Options known so far

Body size everywhere, not wrapping, which is what the majority of tables and the landing feed already do; the four smaller cells lose their wrapper.
Smaller for the dates of a ledger, body size elsewhere, with the anatomy saying which tables are ledgers and why their dates recede.

Decided when

The page anatomy and the design system state the size a date cell takes, and the four tables match it. Nothing waits on this; it can ride with the next change to those pages.
