Two intensity tiers (2026-06-04 refinement, operator feedback
after the original tokens went out — "reduce the vibrancy of
the border gradients on the cards"):
1. `--corner-light-{warm,cool}` (full intensity) — used by
the floating chrome chips (sidebar nav, top header) where
the catch-light SHOULD be the primary visual cue that the
element is a distinct floating surface responding to the
background light sources. Consumed via inline `boxShadow`
in `components/Layout.js` and `components/ui/TopSearchBar.js`.
2. `--corner-light-{warm,cool}-subtle` — used by `.glass-panel`
and `.glass-panel-strong` (data cards: stat cards, deck
cards, list cards, modals, dropdowns). These surfaces are
numerous and tile densely; at full intensity the catch
lights compete with the chrome and overwhelm the page.
Roughly 55% of the full-intensity alpha. */
