Refreshes the ZenMark UI with a more polished visual design across the sidebar and welcome screen, without changing any application behavior or data layer.

Sidebar

  • Replaced flat note list with card-style rows showing title, relative timestamp, and a markdown-stripped content preview (72 chars)
  • Branded header: gradient icon + "ZenMark" text + live note count badge
  • Pin/delete actions are hover-revealed to reduce visual noise
  • Search bar gains a focus ring and inline clear (×) button using icon-btn
  • Template dropdown uses glassmorphism + CSS class-based hover (removes inline onMouseEnter/Leave style mutations)

Welcome Screen

  • Tagline changed from "Welcome to ZenMark" → "Write. Think. Zen."
  • Added ✦ Markdown Notes pill badge above title
  • Feature cards use icon background wraps (.feature-icon-wrap) instead of raw icon color
  • Staggered fadeInUp animations on hero, actions, and feature grid

Design tokens (index.css)

  • Darker, higher-contrast dark theme (#0d1117 / #13191f) aligned with GitHub's palette
  • New tokens: --note-card-radius, --transition-fast, --transition-normal
  • New classes: .template-item, .note-card, .search-bar, .sidebar-brand, .welcome-badge
