feat(theme): the gradient on every main screen, and the rail on its colour

Library, Explore, Profile, Settings and Connect Claude now wash cobalt
down from their top as Home does, as far as their header (200 dp);
Home's wash reaches 360 dp, a studyset's 280.

From medium windows on, the window takes the colour of the screen in
view, as Vaia lays it out: the rail sits on it, transparent and without
a divider, and the screen is a rounded panel inset beside it, with its
own wash at the top. The colour is claimed by the screen's TopGradient
while its tab shows and its route is on top (ScreenTint), so the rail
turns maroon beside a cerise studyset and back to cobalt on leaving it,
in a quarter of a second. The frame is as strong as the rail's labels
allow (WCAG AA on onSurfaceVariant, every palette colour, light and
dark), weaker towards the foot.

Two things the panel's 24 dp less room brought out: a long description
was laid out whole for its first frame, before it was measured, and
overflowed a shorter column; it is now laid out whole but shown no
taller than its preview from the start. And between 840 and about 960 dp
of screen, a studyset's app bar (Study, Add material, Share, options)
didn't fit; Add material is an icon there, its label in the tooltip.

- **Material comes from `package:material_ui`** (Cupertino from `package:cupertino_ui`), never from `package:flutter/material.dart`, which Flutter deprecates from its November 2026 release on. Packages still on the SDK's copy get the app's theme and localizations through `MaterialUiCompatibilityBridge` in `MaterialApp.builder`; remove it once they have moved.
- **Navigation is `go_router`**: the routes in `lib/src/app/app_router.dart`, their paths in `core/router/route_paths.dart`. Four tabs (Home, Library, Explore, Profile) are the branches of a `StatefulShellRoute`, each keeping its own stack of screens alive while another tab shows (`tabsContainer`, go_router's indexed stack plus `TabVisibility`, which a screen depends on to stop something once its tab is hidden); `AppShell` shows them as a navigation rail from 600 dp on and as a navigation bar below, and choosing the open tab again returns to its first screen. A tab's own screens are routes nested in its branch, reached with `context.go` (a studyset's screen in the library), and a studyset's topic opens on top of it with `context.push` (the same route, keyed by id, so several can stack); the breadcrumb's steps go up with `context.go`, so back then leads further up. A studyset's notes and learning paths (working through one, writing it, writing a step) are routes of the Library branch too, so the tabs stay beside them. What needs the whole window (studying, a card, a PDF, settings) is a top-level route over the tabs, reached with `context.push`. Explore lists what is published (see *Explore and copies*).
- **Routes carry ids, never objects.** A screen finds its item in the repository's live list with `FoundById` (`core/widget/`): a spinner until the list arrives, then the item, or a screen saying it no longer exists (deleted on another device, or an old link). A screen that deletes its item closes, and keeps showing the item while it goes. Why: every location can be built from its path alone, and no screen goes on showing something that has gone.
- **The look is one theme** (`core/theme/`): `appTheme(brightness)` with hand-written light and dark colour schemes around the brand's cobalt and copper; `Theme.of(context).extras` (`ThemeExtras`) for the colours Material has no role for (states, the four FSRS ratings, a starred star); `PaletteColor` for the 20 colours a person can give content; `TopGradient` for a colour washing down from the top of Home (cobalt) and a studyset's screen (its colour), behind a clear app bar, its top tone held to WCAG AA for the theme's text. `theme_test.dart` holds text to WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1) on each palette colour and on the dark theme's primary colour and surface. **Fonts are bundled, never fetched** (`core/theme/app_fonts.dart`, `assets/fonts/ATTRIBUTION.md`): Noto Sans is the app's font on every device (Latin, Greek with polytonic, Cyrillic); Noto Sans JP, SC, TC and KR fill in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, Japanese first unless a studyset's language puts its own first (`StudysetLanguageScope`, which every studyset route wraps its screen in through `_inStudyset`; Han characters take the first listed font's shapes); each is one variable font holding every weight, and their OFL licences join the licence list. Scripts none covers (Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, …) fall back to the device's own fonts. A studyset's languages (`frontLanguage`, `backLanguage`, BCP 47) are given together or inherited together from the nearest studyset above (`languagesOf`). Never add `google_fonts` or anything else that downloads fonts. Layouts follow Material 3's window-size classes (`context.windowSize`, `core/layout/`), and running text stays within `readableContentMaxWidth`. Icons are Lucide (`lucide_icons_flutter`), except a starred star and the marks of a choice not yet checked (filled box and circle), which need the fill Lucide lacks; the Material icons left in older screens go when those are restyled. Shared widgets are in `core/widget/` (`SectionCard`, `AppLoadingIndicator`, `confirmDestructiveAction`, `FoundById`, `TitleWithKicker`, `ContentCountsLine`, `showUndoSnackBar`, `ScrollHidingFab`, `PaletteColorPicker`, `CountStepper`, `RequiredFieldLabel` and `FieldInfoButton`, `ReorderToggle`, `ReorderGrip`, `liftWhileDragged`, `SliverCentered` and `EmptyListMessage` (what an empty list shows: icon, "No … yet", and which menus add some), and the sheets below).

- **Lists that can grow long are built as they scroll into view**: a studyset's tabs are `CustomScrollView`s holding each list's slivers (`SliverList`, `SliverReorderableList`), and what a list says in place of its rows sits in a `SliverCentered`. Never a `shrinkWrap` list inside another scrolling view: that builds every row at once, and 1,000 cards then froze the window for seconds, long enough for the desktop to offer to kill the app. Rows are put in another order in a Reorder mode (`ReorderToggle` beside the list; a `ReorderGrip` in place of each row's options; positions from `core/sync/fractional_position.dart`), never with Flutter's default drag handles, which on the desktop lie over a row's trailing end, its … button. Flashcards have no Reorder (decided 2026-10-08): they keep the order they were created or imported in, which new cards and cramming follow, and sub-studysets put lessons in order; no one drags a card among a thousand. **The card browser** (`feature/card/widget/card_browser_screen.dart`, decided 2026-10-09: the older design, gaps filled) opens from Browse beside the flashcards' tab, over the tabs (`/studysets/:id/flashcards`, `?subtree=1` with everything inside): grid or detail (one card beside the list; on a phone above a strip), as last left per studyset on the device (`DeviceSettings.detailedBrowsers`); search over front, back, reading, meanings, hints, explanation and tag names (katakana as hiragana, romaji finding kana; `card_browser.dart`); sort (own order, newest, oldest, A–Z by reading, due first); a filter sheet (kind, one tag, state: new, learning, due, buried, reported); and choosing cards (a toggle; shift-click or long-press for a range) to move (`showCardMoveSheet`), tag, untag, start afresh or delete with Undo. It reads every card of the studysets, as lists do (schedules from the review repository's cache).
- **Forms and pickers open as sheets**: `showAdaptiveSheet` with a `SheetScaffold` (title and close button on top, the body scrolling with a scrollbar, always shown on the desktop, and Material 3's lines under the title and above the footer while some of the body lies beyond them, the action pinned below) shows a bottom sheet below expanded windows and a dialog from there on. A sheet that asks before discarding changes (a `PopScope`) passes `swipeable: false`: a bottom sheet swiped away closes without asking its `PopScope` (Flutter issue 152120, open with v3.47). A sheet offering an Undo passes `hasSnackBars: true`, so its snack bars show on it rather than behind its barrier. A picker that changes something outside it reports every change as it happens (`onChanged`) rather than as its result, since a sheet swiped away has none.
- **Text comes from `AppLocalizations`** (Flutter's gen-l10n, `lib/l10n/`): no string a person reads is written into a widget. The app speaks British English, American English and German (informal "du"; the terms of `app_de.arb`, such as Lernset and Karteikarte, stay consistent). `app_en.arb` is the template and holds British English, also the fallback for any language the app doesn't speak; `app_en_US.arb` overrides only what American English spells differently, and `app_en_GB.arb` is empty, there so that Material and dates format the British way. A new message goes into `app_en.arb` and `app_de.arb` together (`test/l10n/arb_files_test.dart` fails otherwise, and checks the placeholders), and into `app_en_US.arb` if its spelling differs. `resolveAppLocale` (`core/l10n/`) picks the language, never by country alone, and both `MaterialApp`s take `appLocalizationsDelegates`, not gen-l10n's list: that brings flutter_localizations' Material texts, which serve only the SDK's Material, so material_ui's widgets would stay English. Errors found in data go up as values the widgets put into words (`PathImportProblem`, `PathImportTexts`), never as English sentences. The editor's own placeholders are replaced by ours (`buildersWithUnknown`), since the editor's texts follow a process-wide locale of their own. The generated `lib/l10n/app_localizations*.dart` are committed and never edited, analysed or formatted by hand. `flutter pub get` writes them anew, so CI fails when they don't match the `.arb` files.
