DS5 — Pricing (Desk-as-hero) + Motion + Empty/Error + archetype glyphs

Part 6 #8 — Desk $44.99 is the hero tier. New DeskShowcase leads the
pricing page with the "$1M terminal · $44.99" story + real feature
visuals (alt-line ladder, quarter-Kelly, parlay φ, real-time feed) in a
balanced two-column layout (kills the dead right-half). Desk is the sole
highlighted tier / single primary CTA (color contract #9); Analyst is
secondary. Real prices: Free 5 scans, Analyst $14.99/$19.99, Desk
$34.99/$44.99. ClaimMeter + Stripe checkout wiring untouched.

Part 4 #7 — Ticker → punctuated stillness. The continuous marquee is
retired; the ticker now RESTS ≥4s on each ranked item and pulses only on
change. The EKG heartbeat is a static readout — the header's ONE idle
proof-of-life is the single SIGNAL-LIVE live-dot (the ticker dropped its
competing pulse). All durations tokenized (--motion-*, --ticker-hold);
prefers-reduced-motion kills the motion entirely.

Part 8 #20 — new EmptyState component modeled on the north-star 404
(scanlines + glitch wordmark + amber system voice + CTA hierarchy),
reused at the bare-red "Team not found", "Game not found", and the
ledger empties — one unified voice.

Part 5 — archetype glyph+chip propagated to STREAKS rows + ledger rows
(optional + self-hiding; absent beats fabricated); grade reveal already
carries ArchetypeBlend.

Tests: new tests/unit/ds5PricingStates.test.js (22) locks all four
workstreams; updated teamHubUI + vyndrDesignSystem for the new surfaces.
237 suites / 2864 tests green; next build exit 0.
