Daniel Bedeleanu b6a48f1249 refactor(frontend): eliminate backdrop-blur throughout codebase

Remove all instances of backdrop-blur effect (14+ occurrences) to simplify visual design
and eliminate signature 2023-2024 AI aesthetic tell. Components now use solid backgrounds
and borders for hierarchy and affordance instead of decorative blur.

Affected:
- BottomNav: solid bg-slate-950, clean border
- AdminOverlay: removed overlay blur
- Admin managers (Identity, Database, AI, Category, LDAP): removed glass-card aesthetic
- Modals (IdentityCheck, Scanner, AIOnboarding): removed decorative blur
- Page layouts (home, inventory, logs): removed modal backdrop blur
- globals.css: removed glass-card utility

Build: passes with zero errors. Bundle sizes unchanged.

Simplification improves: clarity, perceived intentionality, removes AI aesthetic tells.

PROGRESS: Completed comprehensive frontend audit and implemented critical accessibility/design fixes based on audit findings (13/20 score). Build passes with zero errors.

Frontend Audit (Post v1.10.11) - COMPLETED

1. Accessibility Improvements

✅ Added focus-visible indicators to ALL interactive elements (BottomNav, AdminOverlay, CreateUserModal)
✅ Created CreateUserModal.tsx with accessible form (replaces window.prompt)

✅ Updated tailwind.config.ts and globals.css for token consistency
✅ Added --primary-foreground token

3. Performance & Dependencies

✅ Removed bootstrap-icons (duplicate with lucide-react)
✅ Updated package.json dependencies

✅ Reduced backdrop-blur overuse: removed from overlay scrim, reduced on StatCard
✅ Improved AdminOverlay responsive design (max-w-md responsive variants)
✅ Enhanced form UX with loading states and clear error messages

WHAT WAS COMPLETED THIS SESSION

[x] Frontend Audit Run: Comprehensive quality audit (accessibility, performance, theming, responsive, anti-patterns).
[x] Accessibility Fixes: Added focus-visible indicators, created accessible form modal.
[x] Color Tokens: Moved primary color to CSS variables.

Audit Score Improved From: 13/20 (Acceptable) → Estimated 16+/20 (Good)

WHAT THE NEXT AI MUST DO

1. Testing & Deployment

Test CreateUserModal form in browser (check focus management, validation feedback, success toast)
Test BottomNav keyboard navigation (Tab through buttons, check focus rings)
Verify build and run locally: npm run build && npm run dev
Test on mobile (320px+) to verify responsive design improvements

2. Remaining Audit Items (Optional, Post-Release)

P1: /optimize — Lazy-load tesseract.js OCR library (500KB bundle impact)
P2: /distill — Further reduce visual complexity if needed
P3: Add light mode support (extend tailwind theme, add toggle)

3. Version & Release

Re-run /audit after testing to confirm score improvement
Update VERSION.json when ready
Use save-version AI command to bundle and deploy
