+/**
+ * Promise-based confirm dialog (#640 part C, ported from 8digit/picpeak@88bfde1).
+ *
+ * Replaces `window.confirm()` with a styled, themed, accessible in-app modal.
+ * Usage:
+ *
+ *   const confirm = useConfirm();
+ *   const ok = await confirm({
+ *     title: 'Delete event?',
+ *     message: 'This will permanently remove the gallery and all photos.',
+ *     variant: 'danger',
+ *     confirmLabel: 'Delete',
+ *   });
+ *   if (ok) doDelete();
+ *
+ * Wraps once at the App level via <ConfirmDialogProvider />; every component
+ * below it gets `useConfirm()` for free. Variants:
+ *   - 'primary' (default) — plain confirm, no icon
+ *   - 'danger'            — red AlertCircle, red confirm button
+ *   - 'warning'           — amber AlertTriangle
+ *
+ * Keyboard: Escape cancels, Enter confirms, backdrop click cancels. The cancel
+ * button is focused by default so a stray Enter doesn't accidentally confirm a
+ * destructive action.
+ *
+ * This is the generic primitive. Existing inline-modal flows (PublishGalleryDialog,
+ * DuplicateEventDialog, PasswordResetModal, etc.) stay as-is — they collect
+ * structured input, not a simple yes/no. Call-site sweeps of `window.confirm()`
+ * follow in later PRs.
