R3: Computer panel rebuilt to the reference 'computer' system

Panel chrome (CONSOLIDATED-computer-panel-handoff): the 448px docked rail
now hosts a 400×652 r32 'screen' card with the measured wallpaper stack —
135° slate/navy base gradient tinted by the agent accent, a #000/.40
vignette, and a frosted blur(40px) white/5 overlay with grain on top.
Header carries the rose-500 status dot (home) or a back chevron (drilled),
keeping the 'Computer home' / 'Close computer' accessible names stable.

Home screen: 56px tiles with 16px-radius icon containers (Chrome/Slack
brand marks on white squircles, coral-gradient lucide glyphs elsewhere),
11px labels, active:scale-[0.92] press; the frosted dock capsule uses the
exact blur(40px) saturate(1.5) bg-white/7 r24 + inset/drop shadow with
48px black tiles.

App window choreography: opening an app zooms it out of the tapped tile
(transform-origin + --app-origin-scale captured at click time → the
app-shell-zoom-in keyframe), ~0.28s ease-app.

All 8 apps restyled to the inventory spec via shared AppShell helpers
(SubViewHeader, PanelEmptyState = muted lucide glyph + 16/600 + 12 muted):
Files 45px rows w/ folder/file/chevron glyphs; Slack segmented tabs
(active white bg / aubergine text) + cream connect gate; Skills pinned
cream 'Add Skill'; Add Apps category pills + SearchPill + coral connect;
Settings grouped r12 cards + coral radios + cream Save + lucide delete;
Browser/Routines/ClawChat lucide empty states. Every test marker text and
aria-label preserved.

83 unit + 29 functional E2E green; lucide icons throughout (emoji gone).
