Redesign in Prime Intellect's design language, both themes, three viewports

Eighteen agents: three design directions judged on whether a COO on a phone
actually learns what an environment is, on craft, and on landing without a
rewrite; one spec; a foundation of measured tokens; six build lanes; three
browser verifiers; a final gate pass.

The materials are Prime Intellect's, measured from their site: near-black
grounds, one green, sharp radii, mono small-caps labels, Geist and Geist Mono
self-hosted because production CSP is font-src 'self'. Two of their own greys
fail contrast on their own ground (#737373 is 4.02:1, #6E6E6E is 3.73:1 on
#0F0F0F), so --muted is lifted and the CSS comment carries the number — or
someone will 'correct' it back. Every text-on-ground pair in both themes is
tabulated in src/index.css with its measured ratio.

The two rules that resolved every conflict: data is mono, sentences are sans;
the language wins on materials, the lesson wins on legibility. Light mode is a
finished paper theme, not an inversion.

What did not change: the derived-tabs contract, the honesty markers, the
isolation lint, every gate. 419 contract checks, entry chunk at 74% of budget,
zero horizontal overflow on any route at 390/1024/1440 in either theme.

Also flips Alert Triage to status 'live' — the pipeline built it but never
promoted it, so it was badged SPEC on its own playable page and the home page
counted one environment.

+ * the words around it — never a 44px target inflating a sentence — with the
+ * gloss in a panel that opens on hover and on keyboard focus, and, because
+ * hover does not exist on a phone, pins open on tap. A pinned panel carries
+ * the 44px close target; the term itself keeps its inline size. Outside tap
+ * or Escape dismisses it.
+ *
+ * One panel, not a Radix Tooltip plus a popover. Radix's uncontrolled state
+ * (react-use-controllable-state 1.2.x under React 19) fires `onChange` in a
+ * post-commit effect, AFTER the freshly mounted content has registered its
+ * `tooltip.open` listener — so a tooltip opened by keyboard focus closes
+ * itself on the same commit. Measured, not guessed: the trigger went
+ * `closed → instant-open → closed` inside one tick. Hover survived only by
+ * accident of timing. A term the keyboard cannot open fails the whole point of
+ * glossing, so the panel is ours: three inputs, one boolean, no portal.
+ *
+ * Screen readers get the gloss through `aria-describedby` on a hidden span
+ * that is always in the DOM, so the description does not depend on which
+ * visual affordance happens to be open.
+ *
+ * Demos cannot import this (rule 9), so glossing happens in shell chrome and
+ * pages only; surfaces stay literal. A Term is never placed inside a link —
+ * it is a button, and a button inside an anchor is a keyboard trap.
