Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 5 c66e2c86b6 Frames: the border is one colour again, so drop the corner light
Every framed box was post-processed on the way to the screen: the top-left
corner blended toward white and the highlight decayed along the top and left
edges, so a box read as lit from that corner. It reads as a gradient laid over
the chrome rather than as the box being a box. The borders draw flat now.

The pass goes with it — ui/tui/glow.py, and the three composers that ran it
(base, startup, dialog), each of which also carried the platform gate that kept
it off the 16-slot console where it could only ever hand back the same lines.
Nothing else called it, and its memo went with the module. Text colour is
untouched: the pass only ever recoloured box-drawing glyphs, and titles and
subtitles were already skipped.

The four glow tests become one that pins the outcome instead of the mechanism —
every box glyph in a composed frame, nested panels and dialogs included, carries
the border's own colour and no other. Verified against the old pass: with it
back, that set holds sixty-five.

Platform.effects keeps its other two claims (the header blink, the braille
spinner); it just no longer mentions a pass that no longer exists.

"""The P2 performance contracts: what must stay cheap, and what must stay off the boot path.
These are behaviour tests, not benchmarks — a wall-clock assertion would be flaky on CI and
would say nothing about *why* a regression happened. Each test instead pins the structural
property the optimisation rests on: the database opens in the mode that makes small writes
cheap, the per-frame scans that cannot change a picture are skipped, and the startup import
graph stays clear of the three subtrees that were dragging a fifth of a second each onto every
run.
The numbers behind these choices were measured on the PicoCalc (Luckfox Lyra, ~1 GHz
Cortex-A7, SD card) and are recorded in the plan's Measurements appendix.
