docs(convoys): seed unify-glass-panel-surfaces + cleanup-card-item-list-and-share-modal-palette

Two convoy seeds opened as follow-ups to the 2026-06-04 design pass
(#116 corner-border-light → #117 site-wide sweep → #118 card vibrancy
reduction). Both were called out in #117's PR body as deferred and are
now formally tracked.

## unify-glass-panel-surfaces

Migrates remaining panel-shaped surfaces to the gradient-border
corner-light treatment so the app shares one surface vocabulary.

The audit's key insight: `<GlassSurface>` (`components/ui/GlassSurface.js`)
predates the corner-light pattern. Because `<Modal>`, `<StatCard>`,
and the landing-page feature/collection cards all delegate to it,
upgrading the primitive cascades to ~10 visible surfaces at once.

7 briefs, multitask-parallel after Brief 1 lands:

1. `<GlassSurface>` primitive upgrade — BLOCKING for 3, 4
2. Auth form cards (login.js, signup.js)
3. Floating popovers (mobile drawer, sidebar profile dropdown,
   UserMenu dropdown)
4. BulkSelectionToolbar (currently `bg-white border-gray-200` —
   invisible in dark mode)
5. `.card`-class consumers (4 pages); decision to ratify whether
   to retire `.card` entirely or keep as documented opaque fallback
6. Landing nav bar — wrong pattern; should use existing
   `.page-header-glass` class
7. `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface` CI grep gate — prevents
   regression after the migration ships

## cleanup-card-item-list-and-share-modal-palette

Targeted palette cleanup for two files whose interiors weren't
addressed in #117:

1. `CardItem.js` list-mode (L183–284) — entirely hardcoded
   Tailwind palette (`bg-purple-50`, `border-gray-200`, `text-gray-{500-900}`,
   `bg-blue-100 text-blue-800` etc.); unreadable / off-brand in dark mode.
2. `ShareModal.js` interior rows — purple avatar circles, gray-50
   permission row (invisible in dark mode), blue-600 Copy-link button,
   gray text labels.

Token-only swap. 2 parallel briefs, no architect / IA / UX needed
(no design decisions — palette to design tokens).

## Sequencing note

The two convoys are independent and can run in parallel. The audit
agent's recommended sequencing (Brief 1 of `unify-glass-panel-surfaces`
first) is encoded in the multitask `slice_dependencies` blocks.

+
+Targeted palette cleanup. Parallel companion to
+`unify-glass-panel-surfaces` — that convoy migrates panel *surfaces*;
+this one cleans up the *interior content* (rows, badges, text,
+buttons) of two specific files whose interiors were not addressed
+by PR #117 because they're not panel surfaces — they're nested
+content inside surfaces that were already on the system.
+
+## Why
+
+Two files left over after the 2026-06-04 design sweep:
+
+1. **`components/CardItem.js` list-mode** (L183–284) — the
+   list-view layout (when `viewMode === 'list'`) is entirely
+   hardcoded Tailwind palette. The grid-mode (L290+) was already
+   migrated; list-mode wasn't. `border-gray-200`, `bg-purple-50`,
+   `text-gray-900`, `text-gray-600`, `text-green-600`,
+   `bg-blue-100 text-blue-800` — none of these have dark-mode
+   variants. In dark theme, the list view renders unreadable
+   (light text on light backgrounds) or off-brand (purple/blue
+   badges in an ember palette app).
+
+2. **`components/ShareModal.js`** interior — the modal SURFACE is
+   correct (delegates to `<Modal>` → `<GlassSurface>`), and the
+   user-search dropdown + email-invite card were updated in PR
+   #117. But the interior rows still have:
+   - `bg-purple-600` avatar circles for current user (L194, L240).
+   - `bg-gray-50` current-user permission row (L238) — invisible
+     in dark mode.
+   - `bg-gray-100 rounded` permission badge (L272) — light-only.
+   - `bg-gray-50 border-gray-300 text-gray-600` share-link input
+     (L287) — invisible in dark mode.
+   - `bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700` Copy-link button (L294) —
+     off-palette (should be ember).
+   - `text-gray-{500,700,900}` text colors throughout — light-only.
+
+   Note ShareModal is the primary collaboration entry point; the
+   permission rows and Copy-link button are visited every time a
+   user invites a collaborator.
+
+Both files are token-only swaps. No structural changes, no
+component swaps, no glass-panel migration.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+#### Brief 1 — `CardItem.js` list-mode token sweep
+
+Replace every hardcoded color in lines ~183–284 with the
+appropriate `var(--*)` token via inline style. Categories:
+
+- Background fills: `bg-purple-50` (selected row), `bg-white` →
+  `var(--bg-secondary)` or `var(--bg-tertiary)` per role; selected
+  state uses `var(--accent-ember)` + low alpha as background.
+- Borders: `border-gray-200` / `border-gray-300` →
+  `var(--border)`. Selected state border `border-purple-600` →
+  `var(--accent-ember)`.
+- Text: `text-gray-900` → `var(--text-primary)`,
+  `text-gray-600` / `text-gray-500` → `var(--text-secondary)`,
+  `text-green-600` (positive value indicators) →
+  `var(--accent-flame)` or keep `#16a34a` if semantic green
+  matters more than brand.
+- Badges (`bg-blue-100 text-blue-800` etc.): convert to
+  `var(--bg-tertiary)` + `var(--text-primary)` or
+  `var(--accent-ember)` per badge role (game, rarity, type).
+- Buttons / icons: `text-purple-600` (selection indicator) →
+  `var(--accent-ember)`.
+
+Acceptance: visually inspect `CardItem` list-mode in BOTH themes.
+All text must be legible, all interactive states (hover, selected)
+must have a visible delta against the row background.
+
+**Files:** `components/CardItem.js`.
+**Risk:** LOW — purely cosmetic token swaps; no layout changes.
+
+#### Brief 2 — `ShareModal.js` interior token sweep
+
+Lines roughly 230–310. Targets:
+
+- **Avatar circles** (L194, L240): `bg-purple-600` →
+  `linear-gradient(135deg, var(--accent-ember), var(--accent-flame))`
+  (matches the UserMenu avatar gradient style from
+  `components/ui/TopSearchBar.js`).
+- **Current-user row container** (L238): `bg-gray-50 rounded-lg`
+  → `var(--bg-secondary)` + `rounded-xl`, or
+  `var(--bg-tertiary)` for slightly more contrast.
+- **Permission badge** (L272): `bg-gray-100 rounded` →
+  `var(--bg-tertiary)` + `rounded-xl` + `var(--text-secondary)`.
+- **Share-link readonly input** (L283–288): `bg-gray-50
+  border-gray-300 text-gray-600` → tokenize against
+  `var(--bg-secondary)`, `var(--border)`, `var(--text-primary)`;
+  alternatively use the `.input-field` class (already in
+  `globals.css`).
+- **Copy-link button** (L290–298): `bg-blue-600 text-white
+  hover:bg-blue-700` → replace with the `<Button variant="primary">`
+  primitive. The success state currently is
+  `bg-green-100 text-green-800 border border-green-200`; keep the
+  semantic green but use a non-Tailwind path:
+  `style={{ backgroundColor: 'var(--bg-secondary)', color:
+  'var(--accent-flame)' }}` + an ember border, or commit to a
+  custom `.btn-success-flash` utility.
+- **Text labels** (L201, L222, L231, L246, L266, L267): all
+  `text-gray-{500,700,900}` → tokens.
+
+Acceptance: ShareModal opens in dark theme and every row is
+legible; Copy-link button is on the ember palette; permission
+badges read as ember-system, not Tailwind-default-gray.
+
+**Files:** `components/ShareModal.js`.
+**Risk:** LOW.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- Any change to the modal *surface* (handled by
+  `unify-glass-panel-surfaces` Brief 1, which upgrades
+  `<GlassSurface>` and therefore `<Modal>`).
+- Any structural change (new component, new layout).
+- The user-search-dropdown + email-invite-card areas of
+  `ShareModal.js` — those were already cleaned up in PR #117.
+
+## Roles invoked
+
+1. `role-implementer` — Briefs 1 and 2 are parallel-safe; can run
+   independently.
+2. `role-design-system-auditor` — single sign-off after both
+   briefs land (token-only sweep; design audit is a sanity check).
+3. `role-reviewer` — one review per brief.
+
+(No architect needed — token swaps with no design decisions.
+No IA, no UX — content/structure unchanged. The Design-system
+auditor catches any palette regressions.)
+
+## Todos
+
+- [ ] Brief 1 — `CardItem.js` list-mode token sweep
+- [ ] Brief 2 — `ShareModal.js` interior token sweep
+- [ ] Design-system auditor sign-off
+- [ ] Post-PR review per brief
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. `rg -e "bg-(purple|blue|gray|red)-[0-9]" -e
+   "text-(purple|blue|gray|red)-[0-9]" -e "border-gray-[0-9]"`
+   over `components/CardItem.js` and `components/ShareModal.js`
+   returns no matches (excluding lines that are deliberately
+   semantic — e.g. `bg-red-500` on a destructive Delete button,
+   which architect ratifies per-line during review).
+2. Both files render correctly in both themes — visible text,
+   visible interactive states.
+3. Build + lint + 113/113 vitest pass.
+
+## CI impact
+
+| Workflow / job | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| `preview-smoke.yml` | Fires. |
+| `visual-diff.yml` | **Fires** — expected diff in CardItem list-view and ShareModal rows. Baseline refresh required. |
+| `lint` | Fires. |
+| `test:` (vitest) | Fires. |
+
+## Known constraints
+
+- **`CardItem` is in many places** — `pages/cards.js` (grid
+  default), `pages/my-cards.js`, `pages/collection/[id].js`, etc.
+  Brief 1 must NOT touch the grid-mode (L290+), only the
+  list-mode branch.

+
+Follow-on to the `redesign-v2-from-mockups` umbrella and the
+2026-06-04 corner-border-light refinement (PR #116) + design-sweep
+(PR #117) + card-vibrancy reduction (PR #118).
+
+## Why
+
+The gradient-border corner-light pattern (introduced in PR #116 and
+applied broadly in PR #117) is now the canonical surface treatment
+for the app. But the audit run on 2026-06-04 found that several
+panel-shaped surfaces still use the previous generation's "flat
+translucent fill" pattern — they predate the corner-light work and
+were never migrated:
+
+1. **`<GlassSurface>` primitive** — the most consequential gap.
+   `components/ui/GlassSurface.js` uses a single flat
+   `var(--glass-surface-${tint})` background with no transparent
+   border and no corner radials. Because `<Modal>` (and therefore
+   every modal in the app), `<StatCard>` (dashboard stat tiles),
+   and the public landing-page feature/collection cards all delegate
+   to `<GlassSurface>`, the gap cascades broadly. Upgrading the
+   primitive fixes ~10 visible surfaces in one move.
+
+2. **Auth form cards** (`pages/login.js` L82–88,
+   `pages/signup.js` L227–232) — handrolled glass imitation using
+   `rgba(--bg-secondary-rgb, 0.85)` + `backdrop-blur-sm` (Tailwind,
+   not the system blur tokens). These are the first surfaces a new
+   user sees; they should be canonical, not handrolled.
+
+3. **Floating popovers / drawers** —
+   - `components/Layout.js` mobile drawer (L698–709)
+   - `components/Layout.js` sidebar profile dropdown (L88–96)
+   - `components/ui/TopSearchBar.js` UserMenu dropdown (L214–222)
+
+   All three render a translucent panel over arbitrary page content.
+   None has the gradient-border treatment. The visual cue that
+   says "this is an elevated surface" relies entirely on box-shadow,
+   not on light response.
+
+4. **`BulkSelectionToolbar`** (L47 and L117 dropdown) — uses
+   hardcoded `bg-white border-gray-200`, invisible in dark mode.
+   This is a floating toolbar over all content during bulk-select;
+   should be `.glass-panel-strong`.
+
+5. **`.card`-class consumers** — `pages/profile.js` (×3),
+   `pages/settings.js` (×2), `pages/community/collections.js`,
+   `components/CollectionsPageView.js`. The `.card` class
+   (`styles/globals.css` L757) is a pre-redesign opaque
+   solid-fill panel. Most consumers should migrate to
+   `.glass-panel`; the class itself can either be retired or
+   retained as a documented "opaque fallback" for special cases.
+
+6. **Landing nav bar** (`pages/index.js` L61–72) — uses
+   `var(--glass-surface-mid)` flat + an incorrectly double-wrapped
+   `inset 0 1px 0` boxShadow. Not a gradient-border candidate
+   (full-bleed bar; corner lights would be at viewport edges, not
+   visible). Should use the existing `.page-header-glass` class
+   instead.
+
+Unifying these means the entire app shares one surface vocabulary.
+Future work — new modals, new dashboards, new public pages — picks
+up the gradient-border treatment automatically because the
+primitives are correct.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+#### Brief 1 — Upgrade `<GlassSurface>` primitive
+
+Add the 4-layer gradient-border pattern to the `<GlassSurface>`
+component so its `tint`, `blur`, `rim`, `elevation` props compose
+with corner catch-lights. Default to the **subtle** corner-light
+tokens (`--corner-light-{warm,cool}-subtle`) since most consumers
+are data cards. Add a `cornerLights="chrome" | "subtle" | "none"`
+prop so floating chrome can opt up and special opaque tiles
+(CardItem grid mode) can opt out.
+
+Consumers automatically upgraded:
+- `<Modal>` → corner lights on every modal
+- `<StatCard>` → corner lights on dashboard stat tiles
+- Landing feature cards (`pages/index.js` L132–224, L278–345)
+
+**Files:** `components/ui/GlassSurface.js`,
+`test/components/ui-primitives.test.js` (add a corner-light
+assertion).
+
+**Risk:** MED — the primitive's output structure changes (adds
+`border: 1px solid transparent`). Most consumers won't notice, but
+any consumer that set a custom `border` via style override could
+conflict. Audit needed.
+
+#### Brief 2 — Auth form cards
+
+`pages/login.js` L82–88 + `pages/signup.js` L227–232: replace
+the inline `className="p-8 rounded-2xl shadow-2xl backdrop-blur-sm
+border border-opacity-20" style={{ backgroundColor: 'rgba(...)' }}`
+shape with `className="glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl p-8"`.
+
+**Files:** `pages/login.js`, `pages/signup.js`.
+**Risk:** LOW.
+
+#### Brief 3 — Floating popovers / drawers
+
+Three independent floating surfaces:
+- `components/Layout.js` mobile drawer (L698–709)
+- `components/Layout.js` sidebar profile dropdown (L88–96)
+- `components/ui/TopSearchBar.js` UserMenu dropdown (L214–222)
+
+For each: drop the inline `background: var(--glass-surface-*)` +
+`backdropFilter` pair, add `className="glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl"`
+or `rounded-xl` to match existing dimensions. Preserve any
+additional `boxShadow: 'var(--ember-rim-subtle)'` adornments by
+chaining them onto the class's existing box-shadow (via inline
+style override).
+
+**Special handling for mobile drawer:** the drawer takes ~1/3 of
+the viewport. At full corner-light intensity it would be noisy.
+Use `.glass-panel-strong` (which uses the subtle tokens).
+
+**Files:** `components/Layout.js`, `components/ui/TopSearchBar.js`,
+`test/components/Layout.test.js` (regression assertions).
+**Risk:** LOW–MED — popovers appear over arbitrary page content.
+
+#### Brief 4 — `BulkSelectionToolbar`
+
+Replace `bg-white border-gray-200` on the toolbar (L47) and its
+"More actions" dropdown (L117) with `.glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl`.
+Sweep interior `text-gray-700 hover:bg-gray-100`,
+`text-red-600 hover:bg-red-50` to use `var(--text-primary)` /
+`nav-item-hover` and tokenized red for destructive actions.
+
+**Files:** `components/BulkSelectionToolbar.js`.
+**Risk:** MED — floats over all content during bulk-select mode;
+shadow/overflow bleed would be very visible.
+
+#### Brief 5 — `.card`-class consumers
+
+Audit every `<div className="card">` usage. For each, pick the
+right migration:
+- Most likely: `glass-panel rounded-3xl p-6` (preserves rounded-3xl
+  + p-6 from the old class).
+- Some may need to stay opaque (e.g. screenshot-friendly profile
+  card with photo overlay) — keep `.card` and document the
+  exception in `styles/globals.css`'s comment block.
+
+Decision to ratify: **retire `.card` entirely, OR keep as a
+documented opaque-panel alternative?** Architect's call. If kept,
+add a comment to `globals.css` explaining when to use which.
+
+**Files:** `pages/profile.js`, `pages/settings.js`,
+`pages/community/collections.js`,
+`components/CollectionsPageView.js`,
+optionally `styles/globals.css` (retire or document).
+**Risk:** LOW per page; sweep across 4 files.
+
+#### Brief 6 — Landing nav bar
+
+`pages/index.js` L61–72: replace the handrolled translucent header
+with `<header className="page-header-glass border-b ...">`. The
+`.page-header-glass` class already exists in `globals.css` for
+exactly this "full-bleed top band" use case. The current bar also
+has a malformed `boxShadow: 'inset 0 1px 0 var(--rim-light-inner)'`
+(the token already contains `inset 0 1px 0`; double-wrapping breaks
+the cascade). Remove the malformed shadow.
+
+**Files:** `pages/index.js`.
+**Risk:** LOW — public page, no auth dependencies.
+
+#### Brief 7 — Forbidden grep gate
+
+Add a `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface` job to
+`.github/workflows/ci.yml` that fails the build if
+`var(--glass-surface-(low|mid|high))` appears in JSX inline styles
+across `components/**` and `pages/**`, with a curated allowlist
+for the documented exceptions (intentional chrome treatment in
+Layout/TopSearchBar; `<GlassSurface>` component itself; any
+opaque-fallback `.card` consumers ratified in Brief 5).
+
+Prevents regression: future PRs can't reintroduce handrolled glass.
+
+**Files:** `.github/workflows/ci.yml`.
+**Risk:** LOW.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- `<CardItem>` grid-mode (L290–303) — intentionally opaque per
+  AGENTS.md GPU-budget rule.
+- `<CardItem>` list-mode token cleanup (L183–284) — covered by
+  the parallel `cleanup-card-item-list-and-share-modal-palette`
+  convoy.
+- Adding any NEW surfaces or panels.
+- `.card` rename to `.opaque-panel` — Brief 5 may retire the class
+  entirely; rename is a separate polish if it survives.
+
+## Roles invoked
+
+1. `role-architect` — surface-by-surface migration plan; ratifies
+   the `cornerLights` prop shape for `<GlassSurface>` and the
+   `.card` retire-vs-keep decision; writes Briefs 1–7.
+2. `role-design-system-auditor` — visual regression review on each
+   brief; confirms no chrome-vs-data-card hierarchy regressions.
+3. `role-ux-reviewer` — light pass; ensures auth form contrast +
+   mobile drawer legibility hold up post-migration.
+4. `role-implementer` — one per brief; Briefs 2, 3, 4, 6 are
+   parallel-safe (disjoint files, no shared component dependency
+   chain). Brief 1 MUST land first because Briefs 3, 4 may end up
+   simplifying their inline-style code by using the upgraded
+   primitive instead.
+5. `role-reviewer` — single post-PR review per brief.
+6. `role-a11y-auditor` — focus-ring + keyboard nav for new floating
+   surfaces (Brief 3 popovers especially).
+
+## Todos
+
+- [ ] Architect: surface-by-surface migration plan + `<GlassSurface>`
+      API spec (the `cornerLights` prop)
+- [ ] Design-system auditor: confirm subtle-tokens are the right
+      default for the upgraded `<GlassSurface>`
+- [ ] Brief 1 — `<GlassSurface>` primitive upgrade (BLOCKING for
+      Briefs 3, 4)
+- [ ] Brief 2 — auth form cards
+- [ ] Brief 3 — floating popovers (drawer, sidebar profile,
+      UserMenu)
+- [ ] Brief 4 — BulkSelectionToolbar
+- [ ] Brief 5 — `.card` consumers; Decision: retire or keep
+- [ ] Brief 6 — landing nav bar (`.page-header-glass`)
+- [ ] Brief 7 — `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface` CI gate
+- [ ] Post-PR review per brief
+- [ ] Visual-diff baseline refresh after Brief 1 lands
+
+## Decisions to ratify
+
+1. **`<GlassSurface>` API shape post-upgrade.** Add `cornerLights`
+   prop with values `"chrome" | "subtle" | "none"`. Default
+   `"subtle"`. Architect confirms or proposes alternative.
+2. **Retire `.card` class entirely after Brief 5, or keep as
+   documented opaque fallback?** Conservative: keep + document
+   ("use when the surface must NOT have backdrop-filter — e.g.
+   inside another modal, screen-reader-critical, or
+   GPU-budget-constrained"). Aggressive: retire and migrate the
+   handful of legitimate opaque cases to inline style.
+3. **Mobile drawer corner-light intensity.** The drawer is a
+   large surface. Subtle tokens (matching `.glass-panel-strong`)
+   are likely right, but the architect should sanity-check
+   visually before locking it in.
+4. **CI gate scope for `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface`.** Should
+   it gate ALL `var(--glass-surface-*)` usage in JSX, or only
+   inline `style={{ background: ... }}` usage? Recommended: only
+   inline styles, since the tokens still need to be referenceable
+   in `styles/globals.css`.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. Every in-scope surface lists either `glass-panel`,
+   `glass-panel-strong`, `page-header-glass`, or `<GlassSurface>`
+   in its className (no inline `var(--glass-surface-*)` background).
+2. `<GlassSurface>` primitive's output includes the 4-layer
+   gradient-border pattern and a `border: 1px solid transparent`.
+3. CI's `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface` job passes; introducing
+   a new bespoke `var(--glass-surface-low)` inline-style usage in
+   a scratch commit makes it fail (negative test).
+4. Build + lint + 113/113 vitest + Playwright smoke green.
+5. Visual diff shows the expected differences (corner catch-lights
+   appear on modals, dashboard stat tiles, auth cards, dropdowns)
+   and no unexpected regressions on chrome/cards/CardItem grid.
+
+## CI impact

+| Workflow / job | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| `preview-smoke.yml` | Fires per brief. |
+| `visual-diff.yml` | **Fires + baseline refresh required** after Brief 1 lands (the primitive upgrade ripples through Modal/StatCard/landing). |
+| `lint` | Fires + new `forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface` gate after Brief 7. |
+| `test:` (vitest) | Fires; Brief 1 adds a corner-light assertion to `ui-primitives.test.js`. |
+
+## Known constraints
+
+- **No-go zones honoured** — `components/Layout.js.backup`,
+  `scripts/add-*.js` graveyard untouched.
+- **GPU budget for CardItem grid** — AGENTS.md explicitly
+  prohibits `backdrop-filter` per card thumbnail (it
+  multiplies); Brief 1 must NOT default `<GlassSurface>` to
+  any rendering that would pull CardItem into that prohibition.

+
+Briefs 2, 5, 6 can run in parallel with Brief 1. Briefs 3, 4 wait
+for Brief 1 to land so they can simplify by using the upgraded
+primitive. Brief 7 runs LAST so the grep gate doesn't fail the
+build on in-flight migrations.
+
+## Out of scope follow-ups (queued)
+
+- **`retire-or-formalize-card-class`** — if Brief 5 Decision 2
+  keeps `.card` as opaque fallback, a future small convoy can
+  rename it `.opaque-panel` for clarity. P3.
+- **`storybook-adoption-for-glass-surface`** — once the primitive
+  has the full prop matrix (`tint`, `blur`, `rim`, `elevation`,
+  `cornerLights`), it's a natural Storybook candidate. P2 DX.
