style(ui): full UX/UI + motion pass across storefront, admin, editor

- fix save-bar buttons to use shared app-button primitive (were unstyled)
- fix platform-nav-group border/radius via structural selectors, drop dead
  -middle/-right classes
- storefront widgets (hero/categories/product-carousel/footer-nav): design
  tokens, hover/focus states, 44px touch targets, entrance motion, reduced-
  motion guards
- admin dashboard cards + quick-actions: hover lift, entrance animation
- admin product-form gallery remove badge: hover/focus + expanded hit area
- project-editor section.shared button styles: hover/active/focus/disabled
  states + reduced-motion; section-switch fade-in motion

 ## Fixed
 
-1. **Project Editor footer: payment icons and social links had no validation.**
+1. **Full-project UX/UI + motion pass across storefront, admin dashboard,
+   admin CRUD, and project-editor.**
+   User asked (2026-07-16) for a full UX/UI audit across admin, dashboard,
+   and storefront, sequenced: storefront -> admin dashboard -> admin CRUD ->
+   project-editor. All 4 phases completed:
+   - Fixed: `project-editor-save-bar` buttons were plain unstyled `<button>`s
+     (`project-editor-save-bar.component.html/.scss`) - now use the shared
+     `app-button` primitive.
+   - Fixed: `.platform-nav-group` (`header.component.html/.scss`) applied
+     `platform-nav-btn-left` to every nav button regardless of position,
+     causing double borders and wrong end-radius; replaced with
+     `:first-child`/`:last-child`/`:not(:first-child)` structural selectors,
+     dropped the dead `-middle`/`-right` classes.
+   - Polished: storefront widgets used on every page -
+     `hero-widget.component.ts`, `categories-widget.component.ts`,
+     `product-carousel-widget.component.ts`,
+     `footer-navigation-widget.component.ts` - added design tokens, hover/
+     focus states, 44px touch targets, entrance motion, all gated behind
+     `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+   - Polished: `admin-dashboard-card.component.scss` and
+     `admin-dashboard-quick-actions.component.scss` - hover lift, entrance
+     animation, reduced-motion guard.
+   - Audited: admin backoffice CRUD (products/categories/orders/users/
+     transactions/monitoring/analytics) - already consistently built on the
+     shared `app-button`/`app-table`/`app-badge`/`app-empty-state`/
+     `app-pagination` primitives from earlier sprints; grepped all 7 areas
+     for raw unstyled `<button>`s (the save-bar bug pattern) and found only
+     one: the gallery-image remove badge in
+     `admin-product-form.component.scss` (`.gallery-item button`) had no
+     hover/focus state and a 20x20px hit area below the 44px touch-target
+     minimum - fixed with hover/focus-visible states and an invisible
+     `::before` inset to expand the hit area without changing the visual
+     badge size.
+   - Fixed: `section.shared.scss` (used by all 11 project-editor sections)
+     had a bare `button`/`button.secondary` style with zero hover, focus, or
+     transition - added hover/active/focus-visible/disabled states plus
+     `prefers-reduced-motion` guard, applied uniformly across every section.
+   - Added: `project-editor-page.component.scss` `.project-editor-stack > *`
+     now fades/slides in (220ms) whenever `@switch` swaps the active
+     section component; `.project-editor-section-actions button` (reset
+     section) got the same hover/focus treatment as the rest of the shared
+     button styles.
+   - Verified: `tsc --noEmit` clean after every batch of edits; live-checked
+     in browser at each phase (homepage nav-group render, save-bar render,
+     dashboard cards, project-editor section switch + reset button).
+   - One dev-server crash occurred mid-session (unrelated pre-existing
+     `ng serve` process died independently of these edits, confirmed via
+     `curl` connection-refused before restart) - restarted via
+     `npm run dexar`, not a regression from this work.
+   - See item 1 below (homepage dead-space gap) for the one issue found
+     but not fixed (config data, not code).
+
+2. **Project Editor footer: payment icons and social links had no validation.**
    `footer-section.component.ts` parsed both fields from pipe-delimited
    `<textarea>` strings (`icon.src|icon.alt`, `link.id|link.label|link.url`)
    with zero validation - malformed rows silently produced empty `src`/`alt`/
