-`paper-background` / `paper-foreground` / `paper-muted-foreground` / `paper-border` **(new, admin/auth only)** are a stopgap for shared shadcn primitives (`Dialog`, `Input`, `InputOTP`, `Table`, toasts, `AuthDialog`) that render on a plain white chrome surface outside the edition views and were left invisible when `background`/`foreground`/`muted-foreground`/`border` were repointed to the dark identity. Named `paper-*` (not `surface-*`) specifically to avoid colliding with the `surface`/`surface-raised`/`surface-active` overlay-fill family above — those are translucent layers on the dark ground, `paper-*` is an opaque light page/dialog background, and the two are unrelated roles that happen to share a domain vocabulary. They're hardcoded grays/white today, not theme-aware. Once the light/dark flip (#359) lands, fold them into `background`/`foreground`/`muted-foreground`/`border` (scoped to the light theme value) and delete this family.
