Ask pill joins the glass; Aero hovers light the pane, not move it

The Ask button (and the two phone icon pills sharing its styling) was a
hand-styled bg-[var(--surface-strong)] pill that never picked up the
frosted recipe - it showed the sharp wallpaper through a flat tint while
everything around it showed the blurred one. It carries a glass-pill
class and is part of the same recipe now.

Hover feedback: a transform or filter on a pane with a viewport-fixed
backdrop re-anchors the glass, so the deck card's hover lift made the
card flash a wrong crop of the wallpaper (and filter: brightness() on
the buttons, plus the mobile :active scale foundation, would have done
the same). Aero's feedback no longer moves or filters the glass: the
pane lights up with an inner glow, a white rim and a deeper shadow over
170ms, and the pressed state shades inward.

Contrast: 0 below-minimum findings, 0 axe violations. Version 0.3.3,
SW -> freezmo-v64.
