the panel tops speak one language: 28px discs, white glyphs, one veil

Kyle put four crops side by side and asked why the top chrome disagrees
with itself. The audit found five variants across three panel tops: the
glass bar's arrows (28px circle, white, 17px glyph, 0.12 white-veil
hover), the sidebar toggle and both Now Playing chevrons (28px 6px-radius
squares, grey, 16px, opaque --bg-highlight hover that slabs under glass
and a --glass-hover override that reads as nothing up here), the
add-to-playlist trigger (grey square, 15px glyph), and the save button
(34px 8px-radius square, 18px glyph).

One spec now, the arrows' language: 28x28 circle, 16px glyph, #fff at
rest, rgba(255,255,255,.12) hover in BOTH modes. This commit carries the
Now Playing header set — np-icon (head collapse + rail expand), the
plm-trigger override, and a new np-head override pulling SaveMenu's
trigger down from its 34px playbar size (SaveMenu grows an iconSize prop;
the playbar keeps 18, the head passes 16). The glass-hover overrides for
these buttons are gone — the base veil is mode-independent — except one
glass-scoped rule kept solely to outrank SaveMenu's own glass hover on
specificity. The bar arrows' 17->16 and the sidebar toggle's disc ride the
hub commit; their files carry that rework and split poorly.

Verified by computed style across all five controls: identical to the
pixel, and the disabled arrows stay dimmed white rather than grey so even
the off state is the same hue family.
