feat: design system overhaul — sidebar, AI chats, settings, brainstorm, color cleanup
- Sidebar: dynamic brand-accent colors, brainstorm section restyled
- AI chat general: popup panel with expand/collapse, hides when contextual AI open
- AI chat contextual: tabs reordered (Actions first), X close button, height fix
- Settings: all tabs restyled, 6 new color presets (sage, terracotta, iron, etc.)
- Global color cleanup: emerald/orange hardcoded → brand-accent dynamic
- Brainstorm page: orange → brand-accent throughout
- PageEntry animation component added to key pages
- Floating AI button: bg-brand-accent instead of hardcoded black
- i18n: all 15 locales updated with new AI/billing keys
- Billing: freemium quota tracking, BYOK, stripe subscription scaffolding
- Admin: integrated into new design
- AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md project rules added

# Benefits of Three-Tier Architecture
**Why this approach works**
---
## 1. Prevents Overwhelming Specs
**Before:**
- 800-line monolithic file
- Everything mixed together
- Hard to find anything
**After:**
- 3 focused files (100-200 lines each)
- Clear separation
- Easy to navigate
---
## 2. Clean Handoffs
**Visual Designer** receives:
- `Components/` folder only
- Clear visual specifications
- Creates Figma components
**Developer** receives:
- `Features/` folder only
- Clear business logic
- Implements functionality
**You** maintain:
- `Pages/` folder
- Design system integrity
- Page-specific content
---
## 3. Nothing Gets Missed
**Problem:** Prototype missing leaderboard, week view wrong
**Cause:** Monolithic spec, developer overwhelmed
**Solution:**
- Component file lists ALL visual elements
- Feature file lists ALL interactions
- Storyboard shows ALL states
- **Nothing gets missed**
---
## 4. Easy to Update
**Change request:** "Add countdown timers"
**Before (Code):**
- Regenerate code
- Previous features break
- 2+ hours fixing
**After (Spec):**
- Update Feature file (15 minutes)
- Regenerate with full context
- Everything works
---
## 5. Reusability
**Same component, different pages:**
```
Pages/02-calendar-page.md ──┐
Pages/05-dashboard.md ──────┼→ Components/calendar-widget.component.md
Pages/08-mobile-view.md ────┘ ↓
Features/calendar-logic.feature.md
```
Update Component or Feature once, all pages benefit.
---
## 6. Team Collaboration
**UX Designers** → Focus on `Components/` (Figma specs)
**Developers** → Focus on `Features/` (logic implementation)
**Content Writers** → Focus on `Pages/` (translations)
**Product Managers** → Focus on `Features/` (business rules)
Everyone works in parallel, no conflicts.
---
## 7. Design System Integrity
**Page files** reference components:
```markdown
**Component:** button-primary.component.md
```
Ensures consistency across pages.
Easy to update design system globally.
---
## ROI
**Time saved per feature:** 2 hours
**Over 10 features:** 20 hours
**Over product lifecycle:** 100+ hours
**Quality improvement:**
- Zero missing features
- Consistent design
- Maintainable codebase
