Carry the login page branding through the rest of the site

Description

Request

The login page's animated backdrop, icon and wordmark give trackslash a brand feel. Carry that feel through to the rest of the site: audit fonts, colours and design on every page so they follow the login page's animation and colours.

Audit findings

  • Brand mark missing in the app. The sidebar, mobile app bar and legal header show a plain text-sm font-semibold "trackslash" with no icon. The login wordmark uses display tracking; nothing else does.
  • No brand motion or colour outside login/signup. The app shell and legal pages are flat slate-50. The OAuth consent and error pages are plain cards.
  • Inconsistent <head>s. Legal and OAuth pages don't link the SVG icon, apple-touch icon or theme colour.
  • Typography drift. Page titles use tracking-normal, while the brand wordmark uses display tracking. Markdown headings are bold (700), while every other heading in the app is semibold.
  • Colour drift.
    • Three primary buttons darken on hover (indigo-700); the other 52 lighten (indigo-500, as on login).
    • Error alerts and destructive actions use red on login, signup, the account pages and the account menu, but rose everywhere else.
    • Primary buttons lack the login button's indigo glow.
  • Bug: the OAuth error page's alert-triangle icon doesn't render, which leaves a blank gap.
  • Unbranded error responses. Full-page loads of a missing or forbidden project/issue return Go's plain-text not found instead of the branded error page.

Acceptance

  • One shared brand backdrop. It stays at full strength on login, signup and OAuth, and runs as a calmer ambient version behind the app and the legal pages. It's CSP-safe, animates only transform/opacity, and every animation is gated on prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference.
  • Every page shows the icon and wordmark and shares one set of head links.
  • Page navigation shows a brand-gradient progress bar.
  • Headings, buttons and alerts follow one set of tokens in light and dark mode.
  • DESIGN_CONTEXT.md, COMPONENTS.md and AGENTS.md describe the new brand rules.

Fixed in https://github.com/badbundle/track-slash-app/pull/172 (merged as 44a480e).

  • Backdrop: a shared brand-backdrop, full strength on login, signup and OAuth, and an ambient version behind the app shell and legal pages.
  • Brand mark and head: the icon + wordmark in the sidebar, mobile app bar and legal header, and shared brand-head links on every page.
  • OAuth pages moved onto the auth shell, which also fixes their icons never rendering.
  • Progress bar: a brand-gradient bar while a page navigation is in flight.
  • Status cards get an opaque base so the backdrop never shows through them.
  • Consistency fixes: heading tracking and weights, one primary button style, and rose for every error and destructive action.
  • Docs: DESIGN_CONTEXT.md, COMPONENTS.md and AGENTS.md describe the new "Brand" rules.

The plain-text error page finding was split out and fixed in TRACK-82.
