docs(convoys): unify-glass-panel-surfaces + cleanup palette — conductor seed + architect plan (#119)
* 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.

* docs(convoys): architect plan + 7 briefs for unify-glass-panel-surfaces

Appends the ## Architecture section to .convoys/unify-glass-panel-surfaces.md
ratifying the 4 open Decisions, and writes 7 implementer-brief files under
.convoys/unify-glass-panel-surfaces/.

Decisions ratified:
  D1. <GlassSurface> grows a cornerLights='subtle'|'chrome'|'none' prop,
      default 'subtle' (4-layer gradient-border per PR #118 recipe).
  D2. Retire .card entirely; migrate all 8 consumers to .glass-panel.
  D3. Mobile drawer uses subtle tier (.glass-panel-strong).
  D4. CI gate scopes to JSX inline-style usage only; 3-entry allowlist
      for documented chrome exceptions.

Briefs (1-7, all <100 LOC each, disjoint files):
  1. Upgrade <GlassSurface> primitive (no deps, blocks 3+4)
  2. Migrate auth form cards (parallel-safe)
  3. Migrate floating popovers (sidebar dropdown, mobile drawer,
     TopSearchBar UserMenu)
  4. Migrate BulkSelectionToolbar + interior token sweep
  5. Retire .card class; migrate 8 consumers
  6. Migrate landing nav bar to .page-header-glass
  7. forbidden-bespoke-glass-surface CI gate (runs LAST)

Boot-the-brief check: all 4-layer recipes verified against post-PR-#118
styles/globals.css; all box-shadow preservation chains verified against
current Layout.js + TopSearchBar.js; .card deletion verified clean
(single rule at L729-733); CI gate shape modeled on existing
forbidden-modal-shell-without-primitive job.

Architecture is read-only output — no application code touched.
Awaiting human gate 1 (plan approval) before implementers run.

* docs(convoys): fix Brief 3 TopSearchBar UserMenu elevation token

Self-review recheck against current TopSearchBar.js (L211-222) found
that the UserMenu dropdown uses var(--elevation-pronounced), not
var(--elevation-ambient) as Brief 3's initial sample showed. Brief 3
now documents the verbatim shape (pronounced + role="menu" +
aria-label + overflow-hidden) and the convoy's risk-list note is
updated to reflect all three popovers' verbatim chains.

No semantic change to the plan; just an accuracy fix the
implementer of Brief 3 needs to ship the right code on the first try.

# Brief 2: Migrate auth form cards to `.glass-panel-strong`
## Goal (1 sentence)
Replace the handrolled `rgba(var(--bg-secondary-rgb), 0.85)` + `backdrop-blur-sm` glass imitation on the login + signup form cards with the canonical `.glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl p-8` className so the auth flow shares the rest of the app's surface treatment (corner catch-lights, system blur tier, gradient border).
## Files in scope (do not edit anything else)
- `pages/login.js` — replace the form-card container `<div>` (currently L82-88, look for the `className="p-8 rounded-2xl shadow-2xl backdrop-blur-sm border border-opacity-20"` + inline `backgroundColor: 'rgba(var(--bg-secondary-rgb), 0.85)'`).
- `pages/signup.js` — same migration on the form-card container (currently L227-232 in the symmetric `<div className="p-8 rounded-2xl shadow-2xl backdrop-blur-sm ...">` block).
**Out of scope:** the surrounding layout/header on either page, the `<Input>` / `<Button>` children, error/success banners, any of the legend/divider/social-button styling below the form. Do not touch them.
## Conventions to follow
- **Verbatim replacement** for each card container:
```jsx
// Before:
<div
className="p-8 rounded-2xl shadow-2xl backdrop-blur-sm border border-opacity-20"
style={{
backgroundColor: 'rgba(var(--bg-secondary-rgb), 0.85)',
borderColor: 'var(--border)',
}}
>
// After:
<div className="glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl p-8">
```
The `style={{}}` block is removed entirely. `.glass-panel-strong`
already composes the background, blur, rim, elevation, and the
gradient-border treatment.
- **No new imports.** This brief does NOT use `<GlassSurface>`
directly — the className path is correct because (a) it's an HTML
div with no compositional requirements, (b) the existing
`.glass-panel-strong` class is the documented canonical shape per
the design audit, and (c) using the class keeps the diff minimal.
- **Preserve children verbatim.** The `<form>`, every `<Input>`, every
`<Button>`, the error banner, the social-sign-in divider, the
"Don't have an account?" footer link — all stay byte-identical.
- **Do not adjust the surrounding header block** (Deck Hearth logo +
greeting text); only the form-card `<div>` itself migrates.
- **Tailwind safelist note:** `.glass-panel-strong` is defined in
`styles/globals.css` as a plain CSS class (not a Tailwind
utility). It's already used in `<Layout>` and elsewhere, so the
build picks it up via the `@layer` block. No `tailwind.config.js`
edit needed.
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] `pages/login.js` form-card `<div>` uses
`className="glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl p-8"` and carries
no inline `backgroundColor` / `borderColor` style.
- [ ] `pages/signup.js` form-card `<div>` uses
`className="glass-panel-strong rounded-2xl p-8"` and carries
no inline `backgroundColor` / `borderColor` style.
- [ ] All form fields, labels, buttons, error banners, and footer
links render identically post-migration (manual smoke;
`tests/smoke/auth.spec.js` continues to pass without edits).
- [ ] No edits to other files (e.g. no token additions in
`styles/globals.css`, no new components in `components/ui/`).
- [ ] `npm run lint` passes; `npm run test:run` is unchanged
(no test additions needed for a pure className swap).
- [ ] Dark mode: card remains legible against the body background
gradient (verify manually; before-shot vs after-shot screenshot
attached to the PR description).
## Rationale (≤3 sentences)
These two cards are the first surfaces a new user sees and they predate the `.glass-panel-strong` system; aligning them is both a correctness fix (the `rgba(--bg-secondary-rgb, 0.85)` shape doesn't compose corner lights) and a consistency win. The migration is a pure className swap with zero behavioral change — the lowest-risk brief in the convoy.
