+         quiet     ~0.50α  + medium blur     (the formerly missing rung)

+         overlay   ~0.95α  + heaviest blur   (NEW; modal-over-modal)

+   §-1b  LIGHT-DARK() COLOR ARCHITECTURE (AQ.W2 §2)
+
+   Every PAIRED color token (a token whose `:root` and `.dark` values are
+   BOTH a <color> and differ) folds onto one `light-dark(light, dark)`
+   declaration, keyed off the element's `color-scheme` (§-1). This is the
+   single-source-of-truth collapse of the `.dark` mirror AND the dynamism
+   win: an unregistered custom property holding a `light-dark()` expression
+   re-resolves under a descendant `color-scheme` override (a `.dark`
+   code-block embedded in a light page, or vice-versa).
+
+   DISCIPLINE (§2b — BINDING): these tokens MUST stay UNREGISTERED (no
+   `@property … syntax:"<color>"`). A registered <color> would resolve ONCE
+   at the declaring element and inherit the RESOLVED color, freezing the
+   descendant re-resolution. glass-ui's only `@property` registrations (§18)
+   are non-color (percentage/length), so the discipline holds — W2 adds NO
+   color `@property`.
+
+   The semantic `var()`-aliases (`--background`, `--muted`, `--border`,
+   `--secondary`, `--accent`, `--card-foreground`, …) do NOT appear here:
+   they point at the SAME source name in both modes and auto-track once the
+   `--neutral-*` ladder + `--foreground` resolve via `light-dark()`. Their
+   redundant `.dark` re-declarations DELETE below.
+
+   FALLBACK (§2c): this whole block is `@supports`-gated, so an engine
+   WITHOUT `light-dark()` skips it and the retained `.dark` class block (the
+   SOLE fallback floor) drives dark exactly as at HEAD. `light-dark()` is the
+   enhancement OVER the class — not a parallel alias. Baseline Newly
+   Available; the fallback floor is the pre-existing class block (net-zero
+   new fallback LOC).
