Add the "Dialog" component from notboring to my project.
It is licensed for use in my projects — notboring.dev/license. Please:
1. Create the component at a sensible path for this
project, named Dialog, from the source below.
2. Install what it needs: npm i framer-motion
3. Add the CSS to the project's stylesheet.
4. THE PART THAT NEEDS YOUR JUDGMENT. The CSS reads
these custom properties and does not define them:
--card
--danger
--danger-rgb
--font-ui
--ink
--ink-3
--ink-rgb
--pane-edge
They are notboring's design tokens. Map each one to
whatever this project already uses for the same
job — its own ink, ground, surface and UI font —
rather than defining them as new globals. If the
project has no equivalent, define it locally on
the component's own root so nothing leaks out.
Anything ending -rgb wants three bare numbers,
because the CSS builds rgba() from it.
Keep the comments. They say why the numbers are what
they are, and they are most of what makes this worth
copying rather than rewriting.

/* ══ Dialog ═══════════════════════════════════════════════
A dialog that comes out of the button that asked for it.
THE ORIGIN IS THE BUTTON. The dialog scales up from the
center of the control you pressed — not from its own middle,
and not from the middle of the screen — so it reads as the
consequence of the press rather than as a box that appeared
because of it. Cancel plays the same move backward, into the
same point: the question goes back where it came from.
The obvious build fades a centered card in over a dimmed
page, which is two things arriving with no relation to the
one thing you did. Nearly every dialog is that, and it is
why they feel like interruptions.
The whole scene is the block — a card with something to
delete — because a dialog with nothing behind it is a card
with two buttons.
THE RED IS QUIET, AND IT IS ON THE WORD. The action that
takes something away is set in the danger color — a calm
The rest — the source and its comments — is what you are buying.
