Subject: [PATCH] fix(hotkey): surface Esc-to-cancel hint and replace
 recording-keyframe reuse with success flash

Two scoped fixes to HotkeyRecorder:

- Append "Esc to cancel." to the recording prompt so the existing Escape
  handler is discoverable. srStatus already mentions Escape; no harmonisation
  needed.
- Replace animate-pulse-warm on the captured state with a static
  bg-success/10 + border-success/40 flash. pulse-warm is the
  recording-active keyframe; reusing it for the saved state muddled the
  visual vocabulary. The global * transition rule already animates
  background-color and border-color over --duration-ui (150ms) with the
  brand cubic-bezier ease, so no new keyframe is needed and prefers-reduced-motion
  is honoured automatically. Also swapped transition-all for transition-colors
  to comply with the no-transition-all brand-motion rule.
