Subject: [PATCH] style(home): launcher styles + sidebar brand-logo treatment

Adds .launcher, .launcher-tile, .launcher-hero, .launcher-grid styles
plus .brand-logo replacement for the gradient-D mark in the sidebar.

The shipped img/dragon-logo.png has a light-gray background; we use
mix-blend-mode: screen so the black dragon silhouette sits on the
dark theme without showing the gray box, and a soft accent glow under
the hero version. Smaller sidebar version uses the same trick.
