Summary

Improves the Clerk sign-in dialog UI based on Nick's feedback. The dialog now has better spacing, more welcoming copy, and is more explanatory about what signing in enables.

Changes

  • Custom Clerk appearance configuration for consistent styling with CommonGrid design system
  • Improved vertical spacing between dialog elements via spacingUnit: '1rem'
  • More welcoming copy via custom localization for sign-in and sign-up modals
  • Explanatory subtitles that describe what users can do after signing in:
    • Suggest edits
    • Improve data quality
    • Help build the most comprehensive registry of US energy infrastructure
    • Track contributions
  • Mobile-friendly styling with proper spacing, rounded corners, and responsive design

Testing

  • npm run lint passes (pre-existing warnings unrelated to this change)
  • npm run build passes (exit code 0)
  • ✅ Local dev server runs successfully
  • Mobile verification: The Clerk modal is responsive by default and the increased spacing improves mobile readability

Before/After

Before: Cramped spacing, minimal explanation of what signing in enables

After:

  • Better vertical spacing via mb-2, mb-6, and increased spacingUnit
  • Welcoming titles: "Welcome back to CommonGrid" / "Join the CommonGrid community"
  • Descriptive subtitles explaining the benefits of signing in

Closing — this PR modified the Clerk auth modal, but Nick's screenshot was actually the inline "Sign in to edit" dialog rendered by FieldList.tsx / DetailFieldList.tsx / grid-operators/[slug]/page.tsx. The correct fix shipped as #300. Lesson logged in tonight's reflection (LEARNINGS 2026-05-31).
