feat: give every Ekklesia screen one set of design tokens and elements

Modules have owned their own UI since ADR 0021, but the platform has never
said what that UI should look like. Every screen here — the Dashboard shell,
the display host, the module template — invented its own hex colours, font
stack, spacing, and radii, and they already disagreed. A module author had no
vocabulary for "the ordinary panel background", so the only available answer
was to invent one, and two modules would invent two.

Add `@ekklesia/design-tokens`: one validated, enumerable registry of semantic
tokens. A token declares a name, label, description, and default value; its
category and `--ekklesia-*` identifier are derived from the name, so it can
never claim one category while being named for another. Construction rejects
duplicates, malformed names, unknown categories, empty or overlong text, and
any value that is not a bounded literal — no declaration terminator, rule
block, comment, at-rule, `url(`, `!important`, escape, control character, or
markup. A registry that constructs can therefore be emitted as CSS without
escaping, because nothing needing escaping can be in it. That validation is
also what makes a future theme editor implementable rather than aspirational.

Add `@ekklesia/ui`: button, icon button, text input, select, checkbox, field
wrapper, panel, dialog, tabs, table and list primitives, badge, toast, and
empty/error/loading states — every value a token reference, with real
`:focus-visible` treatment and status that never depends on colour alone.
Deliberately small: an element earns its place when two consumers need it.

The stylesheet is a string rather than a `.css` file so the identical bytes
install into a document or an isolated artifact root, and so hover, disabled,
and focus-visible are real CSS rather than JavaScript approximations of them.

`pnpm boundaries` opens exactly two shared roles to modules, by name — every
other role stays rejected — and pins both design packages to the bottom of the
presentation stack. Both are browser-safe by construction, proven by a real
compile of module-shaped source in which `process.env` must fail to typecheck.

The shell installs the defaults at its document root for the Dashboard and the
display; custom properties inherit into module artifacts, so a module reads
`var(--ekklesia-…)` with nothing to import at run time and nothing for a host
to forget to pass.

+
+## Context
+
+ADR 0021 made a module an independently versioned product that owns its own UI, and ADR 0022 chose
+React as the way to author it. Since then the platform has been able to *mount* a module's screen but
+has said nothing at all about what that screen should look like. The consequences are now concrete:
+
+- Every screen in this repository — the Dashboard shell, the display host, the module template —
+  hardcodes its own hex colours, font stack, spacing, and radii. They already disagree with each
+  other.
+- A module author has no vocabulary for "the ordinary panel background" or "the danger text colour",
+  so the only available answer is to invent one. Two modules will invent two.
+- Deferred repeatedly and named in ADR 0022, ADR 0023, and ADR 0033's deferral lists: "a design
+  system, component library, or theme/design-token contract."
+- A theme editor is a real product requirement for a church platform, and it is only implementable
+  if the values it would edit are enumerable with human-readable names — which is a property of the
+  *contract*, not something that can be retrofitted onto a pile of literals.
+
+The constraint that shapes everything below is ADR 0024's browser boundary. Whatever the shared
+design layer is, module UI imports it, so it must not be able to pull a backend type graph — and with
+it Node's global declarations — into a browser program.
+
+## Decision
+
+Add two shared browser-safe packages and open exactly two boundary roles to module UI.
+
+### `@ekklesia/design-tokens` — the semantic token registry
+
+A dependency-free package (like `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk`, and for the same reason) holding one
+validated registry of **semantic** tokens: `background.page`, `text.danger`, `state.hover-background`,
+`typography.size-heading-1`, and so on. Nothing is named for the colour it currently happens to be,
+because the point is that a value can change without a consumer's meaning changing with it.
+
+Each token declares a name, a human-readable label, a description, and a default value. Its
+**category and CSS custom-property name are derived** from the name rather than declared, so a token
+can never claim one category while being named for another, and there is exactly one spelling of
+`--ekklesia-<name>`. That is what makes the registry enumerable: a future theme editor reads
+`list()`, groups by `category`, labels each field with `label`, explains it with `description`, and
+needs no second source of truth.
+
+Construction validates every rule rather than leaving it to review: an invalid or single-segment
+name, an unknown category, a malformed derived identifier, an empty or overlong label or description,
+a duplicate name, and a value that is not a **bounded literal** each throw. A value may not contain a
+declaration terminator, a rule block, a comment, an at-rule, `url(`, `!important`, a backslash
+escape, a control character, or markup, and is length-bounded. A registry that constructs is
+therefore a registry that can be emitted as CSS without escaping, because nothing needing escaping
+can be in it.
+
+The registry emits its defaults as one CSS rule, scoped to `:root` or `:host` — a closed set, never a
+caller-supplied selector, since an arbitrary selector string is exactly the unbounded value the
+package refuses everywhere else.
+
+### `@ekklesia/ui` — the foundational elements
+
+A small React package whose every colour, type, spacing, radius, shadow, and interaction state is a
+`var(--ekklesia-…)` reference. It contains the set a real module dashboard cannot be built without:
+button and icon button, text input, select, checkbox, field wrapper, panel, dialog, tabs, table and
+list primitives, badge, toast presentation, and empty/error/loading states, with `:focus-visible`
+focus treatment on every interactive element.
+
+Each element is a thin, accessible shell over the real HTML element rather than a re-implementation
+of it, so native attributes, form association, and assistive-technology semantics pass straight
+through. **This is deliberately not a large catalogue**: an element earns its place when two
+independent consumers need the same one.
+
+**Status is never signalled by colour alone.** Every status family carries a symbol token beside its
+colours, and the elements render it. A status that is only red is invisible to a person who cannot
+distinguish it, and unreadable on a projector or a washed-out lobby screen (WCAG 2.2 §1.4.1).
+
+### The stylesheet is a string, not a `.css` file
+
+These elements are mounted in two very different places: a document (the Dashboard shell, a
+standalone host page) and an isolated root (a module's own artifact). A `.css` file would need a
+bundler on both sides and a served asset on one of them. A string is installed into whichever root
+the caller actually has, with identical bytes — and it is what lets `:focus-visible`, `:hover`, and
+`:disabled` be real CSS rather than JavaScript approximations of them, which is the difference
+between a focus treatment that works for a keyboard user and one that only looks like it does.
+
+`<EkklesiaUiStyles />` renders that string into whichever root its React tree lives in. There is
+deliberately no `document.head` hoisting and no `precedence` attribute: hoisting an isolated
+artifact's styles into the host document is precisely the leak the platform must not have.
+
+### Modules consume tokens; they never invent global ones
+
+A module may reference any registered token and may derive **private, differently-prefixed aliases**
+from them inside its own artifact. A module may not define an `--ekklesia-*` custom property: that
+would add a global theme variable outside the registry, which a theme editor could never enumerate
+and another module could unknowingly depend on. The typed `designToken(name)` reference makes an
+unregistered name a compile error and a runtime failure.
+
+### The boundary opens by name, not by category
+
+`pnpm boundaries` adds `design-tokens` and `ui` to the shared roles a module may depend on. It is a
+named allowlist, not "browser-safe shared packages are fine": `api-client`, `auth-client`,
+`surface-sdk`, and `module-ui-host` all stay rejected for modules, and `contracts`/`module-sdk`
+remain excluded from surfaces for the reason ADR 0024 measured.
+
+The two new packages are pinned at the bottom of the presentation stack by their own rule:
+`design-tokens` may depend on nothing but dev-time tooling, and `ui` may depend on `design-tokens`
+and dev-time tooling. A design package that could reach an API client would put that client inside
+every module artifact that renders a button.
+
+### The host installs the theme once, at its root
+
+`surfaces/shell` installs the default token values at the document for both the Dashboard and the
+display application. CSS custom properties inherit through a shadow boundary, so every module
+artifact — including one mounted in an isolated root — reads `var(--ekklesia-…)` without the host
+reaching into the artifact or the artifact importing the host.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Two packages exist where none did; both are browser-safe by construction and proven so by a real
+  compile of module-shaped source under the exact project a module uses for UI, where `process.env`
+  must fail to typecheck.
+- The Dashboard shell and display host no longer hardcode a colour, and a module can match them.
+- A theme editor becomes implementable without a contract change: the values it would edit are
+  already enumerable, labelled, described, categorised, and validated.
+- A module now has more it *may* import. The allowlist is exactly two roles and is enforced, with
+  fixtures proving both the acceptance and the continued rejection of everything else.
+- Every module artifact bundles its own copy of the elements, exactly as it already bundles React
+  (ADR 0023). That cost is accepted for now and is optimisable later without a contract change,
+  because the contract is still a mount function.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+- **Ship a full design system.** Rejected: a large catalogue is a large maintenance and review
+  surface, and most of it would be speculative. The set here is what a real module dashboard needs.
+- **Put the tokens in `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk`.** Rejected: that package is the *host contract*, and
+  a host that renders nothing still has to satisfy it. Design values are not something a host
+  supplies, and merging them would make the mount ABI carry a theme.
+- **Expose tokens through `ModuleUiHostContext`.** Rejected: a host handing a module a token map
+  makes every module re-implement styling from data, and makes the tokens a runtime negotiation
+  rather than inherited CSS. Custom properties already inherit into artifacts for free.
+- **Ship a `.css` file.** Rejected for this pass: it forces a bundler and a served asset on every
+  consumer, including the isolated artifacts that most need the styles. A *module's own* stylesheets
+  are a separate question — the module's build already exists to compile them — and are decided by
+  their own ADR.
+- **A theme editor now.** Deferred deliberately. The registry is the prerequisite; the editor needs
+  persistence, an authorization story, per-installation overrides, and a preview surface, none of
+  which exist.
+
+## Deferred
+
+A theme editor, a brand builder, per-installation persisted overrides, a dark theme or any second
+theme, density modes, an icon set, charting, layout primitives beyond what the elements need, a
+documentation site, and a focus-trap utility.
