EthanHealy01andReece Browne c91d63f215 New design, part one: shared branding, nav surfaces and theme tokens (#7163)
## Overview

First part of the move over to the new designs. This lays the groundwork
(shared brand components, button/nav styling, theme tokens) and applies
it across the editor and the processor. Later parts will build on top of
it.

## What's changed

**Branding**
- Shared `Logo` and `BrandMark` components used everywhere, so the mark
and wordmark are identical across the editor, processor, auth pages and
the chat FAB.
- The sidebar logo doubles as the editor to processor switcher, morphing
into a chevron on hover. It only appears for users who can actually
reach the processor.

**Navigation and layout**
- Both sidebars restructured onto the floating nav surface treatment,
with rounded panels sitting on the app canvas.
- The editor file sidebar is now three sections (controls, PDF Library,
settings) and the workbench top bar and tools panel match.
- Added a collapse toggle to both sidebars, with an animated expand and
collapse and a tidy icon rail when collapsed. The processor did not have
a desktop collapse before.

**Components**
- Buttons and action icons now share one styling system, so both react
to the same tokens.
- Secondary buttons in dark mode use a neutral fill and border instead
of inheriting the primary colour.
- Status badges default to a clean dot with no background, with a filled
pill as the alternative.
- Metric strips gained a row layout with an optional leading icon.

**Theme**
- Colour tokens consolidated. Literal colours live only in the palette
file, everything else references the semantic `--c-*` tokens.
- `saas-theme.css` removed and the parts that were genuinely needed
moved into the shared theme, so all builds get them.
- The colour linter enforces this across the app and runs in CI.

## Notes

- Nothing functional should change here, it is styling plus the sidebar
collapse feature.
- Main has been merged in. The Sources and billing pages picked up
changes from main during that merge and are worth a look alongside the
new styling.
