docs(design): DESIGN.md becomes the visual standard (tokens merged, controls rejected)

Merges the 2026-10-29 Stitch export into the existing 2026-10-26 token sheet and promotes the
file from "redesign exploration" to the normative standard:

- type scale (32→10px), spacing, radii and elevation levels — the three scales the old
  DESIGN.md listed as missing
- meter thresholds: cyan ≤ -12 dB, amber -12..-3, red > -3
- interaction rules: focus ring, hover step, 150ms/90ms easing, no springs

Four export tokens rejected as Material-3 warm-seed artifacts (recorded with reasons):
tertiary #4cd7f6 (kept #38bdf8), outline #ab8986, outline-variant #5b403e,
on-surface-variant #e4beba (kept slate #94a3b8).

Product rulings recorded: #e94560 retired as the app's general accent (blue takes every
interactive role, red is live/record only, wordmark artwork untouched); error gets its own
surface (#93000a) so it cannot be mistaken for on-air red.

The export's dock, four bays, page-nav sidebar, CPU/GPU/NVENC readouts and acrylic blur are
explicitly marked exploratory, not spec — the design principle is a simpler surface, not
hardware cosplay. On-stream output styling stays outside this theme.

Falsified facts fixed in the same commit: product.md brand section now points at DESIGN.md for UI
tokens (MARCOM.md stays the marketing palette), and ui-surface.md no longer calls DESIGN.md an
unreconciled exploration.

Docs-only unit: scope-check run, no build.

## Brand
Brand palette and official assets live in `MARCOM.md` (gitignored — read it for hex values,
asset file names, and marketing copy). The brand red `#e94560` is the primary accent used
throughout the UI.
**The UI design standard is [`DESIGN.md`](../../DESIGN.md)** — colours, type scale, spacing, radii
and elevation, all normative, implemented by `Themes/Tokens.xaml`. Accent blue `#38bdf8` is the only
interactive accent; red `#ff5451` means live/record and nothing else. The old brand red `#e94560` is
retired from app chrome (the wordmark/logo artwork is unchanged).
Marketing palette, official assets and copy live in `MARCOM.md` (gitignored — read it before any
branding or marketing work).
