The wash was far too faint for backdrop-blur to register, so the glass
read as flat navy. Now:
- The backdrop is a real colour field: four saturated blue/periwinkle/
cyan radial blobs over the navy base, plus two slow animated blobs at
higher opacity and less pre-blur, placed behind the content column.
- Surfaces are properly translucent instead of near-opaque: cards 62%,
glass panels 68%, sidebar 68%, list groups 70%, study chrome 72%,
tab bar 74%, mobile header 62%.
- Glass gets a specular top edge (inset 0 1px 0 --glass-top) so the
surface catches light like real glass.
- Light --text-subtle darkened to #55647f so text still clears AA on the
tinted glass (4.84:1 on the most saturated sidebar area).
Audit updated to the tinted backgrounds: contrast 21/21. Suites: deck
chrome 15/15, deck fixes 15/15, final ux 12/12, key gate 49/49, install
sheet 64/64, retry 14/14, zoom 6/6, security 8/8, pwa 16/16.
