   QLYNIC ASSISTANT  ·  Content/assistant.css              (Phase 3 — 29 Aug 2026)
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   THE WIDGET. A launcher and a panel, mounted once from Default.Master by
   Controls/QlynicAssistant.ascx, driven by Scripts/assistant.js.

   PREFIX ....... qc-  classes,  --qc-  tokens. Nothing unprefixed. The root
                  is .qc and every rule is scoped under it, so this sheet can
                  load on any page — marketing today, the dashboard later —
                  without touching a host style.
   THEME ........ NOCTURNE tokens (the dashboard kit) for the material, so
                  the same widget can sit on the dark marketing shell and,
                  with data-qc-theme="light", in the daylight dashboard. The
                  typeface is INHERITED from the host: Geist on the marketing
                  pages, Hanken Grotesk under Site.Master, the system stack
                  anywhere else — the widget speaks in the page's voice.
   LAWS OBEYED .. MERIDIAN 1: glass defined by light — a 1px hairline, a top
                  edge light, ambient darkness below. No shadow soup.
                  MERIDIAN 2: one accent on screen — the "Take me there" card.
                  Cyan marks live things only: the status node while the
                  model is writing, focus rings, the caret.
                  MERIDIAN 3: sans says, mono measures — the status readout,
                  the counter, the eyebrows and the fine print are mono.
                  NOCTURNE 8: the filament gradient belongs to AI features —
                  it is the launcher's ring, the panel's top edge, the caret.
   MOTION ....... one performer per moment. The panel unfolds with a shallow
                  3D lift (420 ms) while the filament sweeps once along its
                  top edge; messages rise 220 ms; the launcher ring breathes.
                  prefers-reduced-motion: everything becomes a 120 ms fade.
   LAYERS ....... launcher 1010, panel 1011 — above the header (1000), below
                  the board (1020), so the menu can still open over the chat.
