eafc3752a0 feat: update design system v5→v6, accent blue replaces ember orange
- Accent: #f97316 (orange) → #60a5fa/#2563eb (electric blue)
- Info: new cyan (#67e8f9/#0891b2) since blue took the accent slot
- Warning: #eab308 (yellow) → #fbbf24/#d97706 (amber reclaimed)
- Surfaces: deeper charcoal range for better layer separation
- Full light mode semantic color variants specified
- Based on competitive research: no MSP tool uses this blue register

ff985fb755 refactor: replace cyan accent with ember orange across entire frontend
Swap accent color from cyan (#22d3ee) to ember orange (#f97316) site-wide.
Cyan caused contrast issues and felt generic — orange brings warmth and
urgency fitting for a troubleshooting tool.

Changes:
- CSS variables: accent, accent-hover, accent-dim, accent-text, primary, ring
- Warning color shifted from amber (#fbbf24) to yellow (#eab308) for
  semantic separation from orange accent
- Brand SVGs: logo gradient updated to orange
- 50+ component files: all hardcoded cyan hex values, Tailwind cyan-*
  classes, and rgba(34,211,238,...) glow values replaced
- landing.css: all 45+ cyan references + 5 old border color fixes
- DESIGN-SYSTEM.md bumped to v5 with decisions log
- CLAUDE.md: all color references synced to charcoal palette + orange accent
- PWA theme-color meta tag updated to match sidebar (#10121a)

20b3627fe0 fix: dark-mode-aware shadows — elevated surfaces + faint accent glow
Black shadows are invisible on dark backgrounds. Replaced with:
- Primary button hover: faint cyan glow (rgba 0.2)
- Ghost button hover: brighter border only (no shadow)
- tab-active-shadow: bg-elevated + faint cyan glow (rgba 0.08)
- card-lift: brighter border + subtle cyan glow on hover

a73d34c39b feat: add interactive shadow patterns — hover lift, active tab elevation
Shadows communicate interaction state, not decoration:
- Primary buttons: cyan-tinted shadow + lift on hover
- Ghost buttons: subtle shadow + lift on hover
- Both: shadow shrinks on active/click (press effect)
- tab-active-shadow: elevation shadow for selected tabs/toggles
- card-lift: optional hover lift for interactive cards

6ff793bf45 docs: swap to Design System v4 — flat dark theme, no glass morphism
- Add DESIGN-SYSTEM.md as single source of truth for all design decisions
- Update CLAUDE.md branding and design system sections to reference new system
- Archive UI-DESIGN-SYSTEM.md to docs/archive/design-docs/
- Update tech stack styling line and quick reference table

The new design system moves from glassmorphism/gradients to a flat,
high-contrast dark theme inspired by Sentry/PostHog. Light mode planned.
CSS implementation to follow in a separate branch.
