docs: onboarding illustrations, matched light and dark

Seven illustrations in a matched pair, replacing the single light-only concept
set added in 9d2a4b2. Named for the composables they replace, and identical in
dimensions per card so a theme switch swaps the image without moving the layout.

Three corrections happened during review and each is easy to reintroduce by
regenerating carelessly, so dist/README.md records them:

- No text painted into the pixels. The app renders all seven titles through
  Heading(...) already; art carrying its own title prints every heading twice,
  cannot be translated, cannot scale with font size, and is invisible to
  TalkBack.
- No step-number badge. LearningIllustration is also the Insights empty state,
  where a "4" means nothing, and baked numbers freeze a running order that has
  already changed once.
- 07_Forecast names no fields. One draft listed Fertile window and Ovulation,
  which the first-forecast screen deliberately withholds — on a fresh install it
  reports confidence Low and Today reads "Not enough history to estimate". A
  later draft named the right fields but painted "Confidence — Low"
  permanently, wrong for anyone with a settled cycle. Naming nothing is the only
  version that cannot contradict the live forecast.

The dark set is a real dark composition rather than the light one dimmed, on the
midnight-plum ground BRAND_GUIDE.md §22 specifies.

WebP at the delivered resolution: 204 KB for all fourteen against 3.4 MB as PNG.
Delivery .zip archives are gitignored; the superseded concept set is removed and
remains recoverable at 9d2a4b2.

#29 stays open — these are references, and the vectors that ship are drawn from
them.

Seven cards, one per onboarding step, numbered to match the steps in
`app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/feature/onboarding/OnboardingScreen.kt`:
Seven illustrations in a matched light/dark pair, named for the composables they
replace in
[`../../../core/designsystem/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/designsystem/art/Illustrations.kt`](../../../core/designsystem/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/designsystem/art/Illustrations.kt):

## Why they are not the shipping assets
Each stem exists as `Light/<stem>_light.webp` and `Dark/<stem>_dark.webp`, at
**identical dimensions per card**, so a theme switch swaps the image without
moving the layout.
Recorded here so nobody drops them into `res/drawable` and calls #29 done. The
full argument, with evidence, is in the comment on that issue.
## What these got right, and why it is worth not undoing
- **They are raster.** The set is 340 KB as WebP; it was 12 MB as PNG, against a
1.9 MB release APK. §42 asks for Compose vector paths or `VectorDrawable`.
- **The titles and subtitles are painted into the pixels**, and the app already
renders all seven itself through `Heading(...)`. Used as-is, every title
appears twice — and baked text cannot be translated, cannot scale with the
user's font size, and is invisible to TalkBack.
- **They are light mode only.** `BRAND_GUIDE.md` §22 names the dark palette, and
[`../README.md`](../README.md) requires a light/dark preview pair per screen.
A vector set recolours from theme tokens; a raster set has to be drawn twice.
- **Card 7 shows a fertile window and ovulation**, which the first-forecast
screen deliberately does not — on a fresh install it shows confidence Low and
Today reads "Not enough history to estimate". That conflict is a product
decision to settle before anything is drawn, not a detail to fix in the art.
Each of these was a correction during review, and every one of them would be easy
to reintroduce by regenerating carelessly:
## Provenance and format
- **No text of any kind is painted into the pixels.** The app renders all seven
titles and subtitles itself through `Heading(...)` in `OnboardingScreen.kt`.
Art carrying its own title prints every heading twice, cannot be translated,
cannot scale with the user's font size, and is invisible to TalkBack.
- **No step-number badge.** `LearningIllustration` is not only onboarding step 4
— it is also the Insights empty state, where a "4" means nothing. Baked numbers
also freeze the running order, and this flow has already changed shape once. A
step indicator, if wanted, belongs in live UI where TalkBack can read it.
- **`07_Forecast` shows a calendar and a cycle arc, and names no fields.** An
earlier draft drew a forecast panel listing *Fertile window* and *Ovulation*,
which the real first-forecast screen deliberately does not show — on a fresh
install it reports confidence Low and Today reads "Not enough history to
estimate". A later draft named the correct fields but painted *Confidence —
Low* permanently, which is wrong for anyone with a settled cycle. Naming
nothing is the only version that cannot contradict the live forecast.
- **The dark set is a real dark composition**, not the light one dimmed — the
midnight-plum ground `BRAND_GUIDE.md` §22 specifies.
Generated from `BRAND_GUIDE.md` §22's master prompt, which is the workflow that
section exists to describe. Converted from the delivered PNGs to WebP at their
original 1086×1448 — same resolution, about a fortieth of the bytes, and the
same format [`../../data/img/`](../../data/img/) already uses for the marks
privacyllc.dev renders.
## Still to do before anything ships
Tracked as **#29**, which stays open until the app renders these:
1. Redraw as Compose vector paths behind the existing replaceable names, taking
colour from theme tokens rather than shipping two raster sets.
2. Add the light/dark preview pair per step, per [`../README.md`](../README.md).
3. Reconcile step copy — `PRODUCT_PLAN.md` owns the screen wording.
`EmptyStateIllustration`, the Today "nothing logged yet" state, has no card here.
Onboarding would otherwise ship real art while Today keeps a placeholder visible
in the same session.
## Format
WebP at the delivered resolution — 204 KB for all fourteen, against 3.4 MB as
PNG, and the same format [`../../data/img/`](../../data/img/) uses for the marks
privacyllc.dev renders. The delivery `.zip` archives are deliberately not
tracked; see [`.gitignore`](.gitignore).
