Work the design critique down: chapter format, colour law, search, strip, a11y (#11)

Two rounds of design-critique fixes on the web UI. Every visual change was verified at 390x844 and 1280x900 in both dark and light with screenshots; `go test ./...` is green throughout; no new dependencies.

## Earlier commits on this branch

The two oldest commits predate this session and were never opened as their own PR, so they are under review here too:

- Confirm-gate the lifecycle actions, cluster the action strip by consequence.
- Fix the accessibility findings from the audit: contrast, focus, reduced motion.

## The rest

**Chapter format.** The userscript and the poller both write `"Chapter N"`, and the templates prefixed `Ch ` again, so every real Asura row read `Ch Chapter 250` — while a manual edit stored a bare `250`, leaving two formats in one list. `DisplayChapter`/`DisplayLatest` on `Bookmark` now strip the lead-in and re-add exactly one `Ch `.

**Zero-result search.** The client filter only toggled `card.hidden`, so a query matching nothing left a blank list under a fully populated, unfiltered "Continue reading" strip. There is now a no-match state with a Clear-search button, and the strip goes down while a filter is active.

**The colour law.** `--ember` is documented as meaning "new chapter" and was spent on eight things, including setting "Nothing new." in the colour reserved for new chapters. Destruction moves to a new `--danger` token; text-input focus follows the searchbar idiom and turns `--paper`. Contrast, both themes: `--danger` on the page 4.82 / 6.65, the solid Remove button 4.94 / 7.30, the confirm question 9.00 / 7.98.

**The remove confirm.** Buttons 40px 8px apart became 46px 12px apart, and the question names the series and the loss instead of asking "Remove this?". It opens with **Cancel** focused, not Remove — the two reversible rows still open on their affirmative.

**The recent strip.** It was the head of the same `updated_at DESC` list rendered directly below it, on every tab, costing ~240px of the first phone screen. It is now scoped to series with a chapter waiting, and only on All. With nothing new anywhere it does not render — deliberate.

**Stale chrome.** The strip and the Updated badge describe the whole library but live outside the swapped `#list`, so archiving a series left it under "Continue reading" with the badge still counting it, and `/?tab=all` reached by htmx differed from the same URL reloaded. Both regions move into `chrome.html` and refresh out of band on every mutation and every tab switch.

**Accessibility and touch.** Esc closes any open panel and returns focus to the cell that owns it; opening a confirm moves focus into it; the inline error scrolls into view and no longer self-destructs after 5s; every tab and desktop action cell clears 44px; `role="alert"` on the login error; the card monogram is no longer announced; the busy bar is clipped by its own travel rather than by `overflow: hidden` on the card.

**Chapter form label.** The panel's only visible text named the published chapter while the field held your progress. The field gets a real label; "Latest known" moves below it.

**gzip.** Nothing was compressed. A stdlib middleware handles the four text types and leaves woff2 alone: style.css 21.8 -> 6.5 KB, htmx 50.9 -> 16.4, filter.js 7.6 -> 2.9.

## Not addressed

The `role="status"` error slot is still mutated while hidden and then revealed, which is the non-announcing pattern the confirm rows were fixed for. Delete is still a silent vanish. Both are flagged in the critique snapshot under `.impeccable/critique/`.

Design health went 24/36 (66.7%) to 29/40 (72.5%) between snapshots; the two P1s that survived were found and fixed after that run.
