Establish the tokenized design-system + app-shell foundation for the pre-distribution UX pass, on top of main: - 8px spacing scale, radius/elevation scale, regularized modular type scale - tokenized color palette in light and dark (prefers-color-scheme), tuned for WCAG 2.2 AA; dark overridable by an explicit light/dark/system choice persisted across reloads via a new app-bar theme toggle (lib/theme) - consistent button system; Publish is a large, anchored (sticky), high-contrast primary action - sticky top bar; persistent left navigation rail (NavRail) for Posts/Settings - reduced visual noise via tokens Add .claude/rules/ui-standards.md, a Phase 4 plan in docs/roadmap.md, a scope-rule carve-out, and a CHANGELOG entry. Adds unit tests (theme, navigation) and e2e coverage (left nav, theme toggle, anchored Publish). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
