36dbcf6f69 fix card click delay when reduced motion is active
Skip layoutId and use instant transitions on the card detail modal
when reduced motion is on. The shared layout animation kept the z-50
overlay in the DOM during its exit spring, blocking all card clicks
until it settled.

93587d681a fix layout animation blocking card clicks when reduce motion is on

fe8178571d add reduce motion toggle and bump to v1.0.1
Add in-app reduce motion setting under Settings > Appearance so users
can disable animations without changing their OS preference. Applies a
.reduce-motion CSS class to kill all CSS transitions/animations and
wraps the app in MotionConfig to globally disable Framer Motion springs,
layout animations, and enter/exit transitions. Setting persists to disk.

Also removes leftover default Square*.png icons and bumps version to
1.0.1.

Your work is protected by multiple layers of redundancy - because tools that lose your data don't deserve your trust.
- **Auto-save** -- boards save automatically 500ms after every change
- **Automatic backups** -- timestamped snapshots every 5 minutes, last 10 retained per board
- **Version history** -- browse and restore previous versions from the board settings menu
- **Rolling backup** -- the previous save is always preserved as a `.backup.json` file
- **Portable storage** -- all data lives in a `data/` folder next to the executable; no registry entries, no AppData, no hidden folders
- **Schema validation** -- all data is validated with Zod on every load, with graceful fallback to defaults if a file is corrupted. Forward-compatible: boards from older versions just work.

### 🖥️ Desktop Integration
- **Custom frameless window** -- integrated title bar with minimize, maximize, and close controls, plus a drag region that feels native
- **Window state persistence** -- remembers your window position, size, and maximized state between sessions
- **Due date notifications** -- OS-level desktop notifications for cards that are due today or overdue, checked hourly

### 📄 Board Format
Each board is a self-contained JSON file with a Zod-validated schema. New fields added in future versions receive sensible defaults on load -- so older board files never break. You can read, edit, or script against these files with any tool you like. They're just JSON. No proprietary formats, no binary blobs, no vendor lock-in.

### 🔄 Backup and Recovery
If something goes wrong:
1. **Version History** -- open board settings (⚙️ icon in the top bar) -> "Version History" -> pick a snapshot -> restore. Your current state is backed up first.
2. **Manual `.backup.json`** -- every board has a `.backup.json` sibling in the `boards/` folder. Rename it to replace the current file.
3. **Timestamped snapshots** -- find the one you want in `data/backups/<board-id>/` and copy it into `data/boards/`.
