* [Game] Render custom deck zones in the deck view

The in-game deck view now walks custom zones like the standard
boards, so cards filed under a user-created zone show up in their
zone's card pile instead of disappearing from the view.

* [Game] Collect deck-view cards via DeckList::getCardNodes

+ *         (onboarding/shaders/brand_banner.frag) with different uniform values, so
+ *         every page feels distinct but unmistakably part of the same family.
+ *
+ * Motif switches crossfade smoothly (see BrandBanner.qml's two stacked
+ * ShaderEffect layers + Behavior on opacity) rather than cutting instantly
+ * -- BannerHost just writes the new preset into whichever layer is
+ * currently hidden and flips BannerShaderConfig::frontIsA; QML handles the
+ * actual animation declaratively.
+ *
+ * Falls back to a static two-stop gradient (no shader, no QQuickWidget) if
+ * the platform's Qt Quick scenegraph can't initialize -- e.g. software
+ * rendering only, or a CI/VM environment with no GPU -- so onboarding
+ * never blocks or blanks out over a graphics driver problem. The fallback
