C10 · /authors frontend/UX pass (PR10)

C10/PR10 frontend/UX pass COMPLETE on `feature/authors-optimization` (worktree). All green: RedditUserIndexTest + FavoriteLocationsAndSettingsTest (35 passed) + Locations suite (25 passed), `pint` clean, all blades compile, `npm run build` succeeds. Commits (Brief: #256 trailer on each; no Co-Authored-By): - **f1f3cb5c** — Teal /authors toolbar + rebuilt location typeahead - **2a8448a9** — Star-a-location on /locations + /location/{slug} + "Your places" - **cd261e16** — Polish /settings chrome **Delivered (doc 60 + operator deltas):** - `/authors` toolbar (`reddit-user-index.blade.php`): location chip violet→**teal** composite ("near {place} · within {n} mi"); **active-filter summary line** (§8) with per-facet clearable chips (colors keyed to pills, review N4); a11y — `aria-pressed` on toggle pills, `role=radiogroup`/`radio`+`aria-checked` on radius, `aria-expanded/controls` on the Location opener. - Location typeahead (`LocationSearch.php` + `location-search.blade.php`): rebuilt to design-system §11 (teal focus + spinner, pin rows, dropped DaisyUI indigo); **combobox a11y** (roles, ↑/↓/Enter/Escape); **near-me (geolocation) + "My home base"** origin chips → nearest-first sort + "~N mi" hints, denial degrades to inline note; hydrates over **#242 qualified set** (`is_search_visible`). - Star-a-location (`LocationsIndex.php` + `locations-index.blade.php` + `location-card.blade.php` + `locations/show.blade.php`): hero star+set-home; **parent-handled** per-card star (one Livewire component, not 30 — §5.2); card converted to **stretched-link** (§8, no nested-anchor conflict), `aria-pressed`; **"Your places"** section (§5.3). - `/settings` (`user-settings.blade.php`): radius select → ring pattern; saved-places empty state → doc 60 §7 copy + "Browse places →". **Intentional deviations (with rationale):** 1. **Followed pill kept violet+heart "Following"** (not doc 60 §4 teal+star). Design-system §2 makes violet=identity/users (followed authors ARE identity); teal+star would create the two-teal adjacency the review flagged (§14/N); it's the shipped C8 state. Summary chip matches (violet). Easy to flip to teal+star if the operator prefers doc 60 literally. 2. **No author-weight count in typeahead rows** — `locations` has no `authors_count` column (#242 replaced doc-20/README's count with the `is_search_visible` boolean). Used the qualified-set gate as the quality signal instead; per-row distinct-author counts would be N queries. 3. **Reused existing `LocationFollowButton`** (star + set-home, built in C9, tested) for the hero instead of adding doc 60 §12's new `LocationFavoriteButton` — the C9 component supersedes it; avoided a redundant parallel component. 4. **`/settings` kept its Save button** (not doc 60 §6 autosave) — the settings test drives `save()`; low-value churn to change. Not committed: `package-lock.json`/`yarn.lock` churn from the `npm install` on this `--skip-npm` worktree (project name→dir rename, a pruned dep) — reverted as non-work artifacts. Public built assets unchanged (my Tailwind classes were already in the committed CSS). No node_modules committed. Nothing pushed (worktree branch; production deploy is a separate operator action).

Child of /authors optimization epic (#239). **Depends on C7 + C8 + C9.** Build in `feature/authors-optimization` worktree. Follow `docs/design-system.md`. Implement **PR10** (doc 60) with operator deltas: composite location chip (radius nested inside the chip; standardize location accent to teal), **"Followed" pill**, active-filter summary line, typeahead rebuild (author-weight + distance + near-me/home-base, over **#242's qualified set**), star-a-location affordances on `/locations` + `/location/{slug}`, `/settings` chrome, mobile pill fold (≤2 rows), a11y (combobox roles, `aria-pressed`). **Operator deltas:** - **No quality toggle** in the UX (quality feature cut). - **Quick-select favorites + home** surfaced in the location search/typeahead. Validation: visual QA vs design-system; a11y; mobile wrap; no nested-anchor conflict on per-card star.
