morgmart f8f07a3b33 fix(desktop-next): make coloured text legible on tint hovers, and widen the audit
A second pass over the colour system, checking the surfaces the first audit did
not cover.

The gap was tint hovers. DESIGN.md says a tint carries meaning and takes coloured
text, but the audit only measured text against the four neutral surfaces — so
`--bg-*-tint-hover`, the hardest surface in each coloured family, was never
checked. Four pairings were below target: light danger (Lc 56.6) and warning
(59.2), and dark accent and info (58.4 each). All four passed WCAG AA, which is
why nothing else caught them.

Size step 11 against the tint hover rather than the neutral panel, the same rule
already applied to the neutral ramp: light danger-11 #b91c1c -> #a80008, light
warning-11 #a16207 -> #9c5e00, dark accent-11 and info-11 #8fbaff -> #95c0ff.
Minimum moves in OKLCH holding hue and chroma, so the hues do not shift.

The audit now covers every tint and tint hover in all five families. Verified by
falsification: reverting any one of the four fails the check.

Two findings that are deliberately not changes:

Hairline dividers stay at 1.2-1.8:1. WCAG's 3:1 non-text rule covers boundaries
needed to identify a control or its state, not grouping lines; Radix ships 1.29
and Apple 1.26 for the same job. Raising them would draw the box the fill already
implies. Recorded in DESIGN.md, along with the note that a control's own outline
is a different question when the input layer lands.

`--ring-focus` is an accent against accent: legible on every neutral surface at
3.0-3.5:1, but 1.1:1 on `bg-accent`, where it vanishes. Not yet reachable — the
token is unregistered and unused — so the constraint is documented at the token
instead of being solved speculatively: the component layer that introduces focus
owns a surface-coloured offset, and there is no second ring token.

Glass surfaces were checked by compositing each translucent value over the app
gradient's own stops; all clear the target in both modes, which the relit
neutral ramp is what earns.
