Wave-5 refinement round 1 (owner's five fixes)

- New session: literal '+' glyph removed — one lucide PlusIcon (the
  duplicated glyph was PlusIcon + text '+').
- Top bar: a small pointer-events-none gradient under the header eases
  the scroller into the bar exactly like the dock's bottom fade.
- Option subtext (opt.description): .lh-prose — Source Sans 3; 'I don't
  know' copy stays JetBrains Mono.
- 'I don't know': now layout-matched with a radio circle; dashed border
  preserved as the deliberate non-answer.
- Separator spacing: options group pb-1 → pb-2 so the gap before the
  divider equals the 8px inter-option gap.
