developer d6c7464170 feat(app): add AppStateProvider for shared global settings
Central context for the settings a template app shares instead of prop
drilling: theme, viewMode, sidebarCollapsed and the search palette, with
the ⌘K/Ctrl+K shortcut moved out of App.

- settings persist on user action only (an effect-written theme would
  freeze the OS preference for users who never toggled)
- theme still boots from the <html data-theme> attribute the pre-paint
  script set; viewMode mirrors to data-view-mode as the audience-preset
  hook and deliberately gates nothing yet
- Topbar: viewMode segmented control, theme toggle and search now read
  the context; useAppState throws outside the provider
- tests/appState.test.tsx: defaults, persistence, rehydration, garbage
  storage values, ⌘K shortcut

# Northstar Design System
A token-driven design system showcase built for AI-assisted development workflows.
React 19 · Vite 8 · TypeScript (strict) · Vitest · oxlint.
## Quick start
```bash
npm install
npm run dev # dev server on 0.0.0.0:5173
```
## The quality gate
```bash
npm run check
```
One command, four gates, in order:
1. **`oxlint`** — lint over every source file.
2. **`scripts/check-tokens.mjs`** — the token contract: bans hardcoded colors
(hex / named / `rgb()` / `hsl()` / `oklch()` / `lab()`), px font sizes and
undefined `var(--x)` references — in **both** CSS files and inline
`style={{ … }}` objects. Values may span lines; comments are ignored.
3. **`vitest run`** — unit + component tests (`tests/`).
4. **`tsc -b && vite build`** — strict typecheck, then production build.
CI runs the same gate on every push and PR (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`).
## Design tokens
`src/tokens.css` is the single source of truth. Every color, font size,
spacing, radius and shadow goes through a `var(--token)` — components never
hardcode values. Themes are plain CSS: `:root[data-theme='light']` /
`.light` and `:root[data-theme='dark']` / `.dark`, with a pre-paint script in
`index.html` that applies the saved (or OS-preferred) theme before first paint.
The global density knob is `--root-font-size` — one line scales the whole app.
## Layout
```
src/
tokens.css ← lab() design tokens, dark & light themes
index.css ← fonts, token import, base resets
utils.css ← token-compliant utility classes
App.css ← application showcase styles
app/ ← AppStateProvider + useAppState(): theme, viewMode, sidebar, ⌘K search
components/
ui/ ← composable primitives (Overlay, Dialog, Sheet, Tabs, Alert, …)
icon-registry.ts← the one icon name → lucide component map
examples/ ← reusable patterns (MetricsDashboard, SettingsPanel, …)
dev/ ← ErrorBoundary + dev error sink (#dev-errors)
utils/ ← cn(), useTimeout()
tests/ ← vitest suites (jsdom)
scripts/
check-tokens.mjs ← token contract guard
```
## For agents
Read [`AGENTS.md`](./AGENTS.md) before changing anything — it documents the
token contract, the overlay/icon registries, and the parallel-subagent rules.
