docs: Actualizar CLAUDE.md - v0.18.0 con paridad visual DVUI Fase 1

Sistema de rendering dual para zcatgui:

Core:
- RenderMode enum (simple/fancy) en style.zig
- global_render_mode con helpers: isFancy(), setRenderMode()
- fillRoundedRect con edge-fade AA en framebuffer.zig (~350 LOC)
- Nuevos comandos: rounded_rect, rounded_rect_outline

Widgets actualizados:
- Button: corner_radius=4, usa roundedRect en fancy mode
- Panel: corner_radius=6, show_shadow=true, sombra offset 4px
- TextInput: corner_radius=3
- Select: corner_radius=3
- Modal: corner_radius=8, show_shadow=true, sombra offset 6px
  - Botones y input field del modal también redondeados

Técnica edge-fade (de DVUI):
- Anti-aliasing por gradiente alfa en bordes
- Sin supersampling, mínimo impacto en rendimiento
- Bordes suaves sin multisampling

-zcatgui tiene MÁS widgets que DVUI (~45 vs ~42), pero DVUI **se ve mejor** porque:
+zcatgui tenía MÁS widgets que DVUI pero DVUI **se veía mejor** por falta de:
-1. **Esquinas redondeadas** en todos los widgets
+1. ✅ **Esquinas redondeadas** → `fillRoundedRect` con edge-fade AA
-2. **Anti-aliasing en bordes** via edge-fade (no solo en TTF)
+2. ✅ **Anti-aliasing en bordes** → edge-fade technique implementada
-3. **Transiciones suaves** entre estados (hover, press)
+3. ⏳ **Transiciones suaves** (Fase 2)
-4. **Sombras aplicadas** a paneles y modales
+4. ✅ **Sombras en paneles/modales** → Panel/Modal con shadow
 
-### Solución Acordada
+### Sistema Dual Implementado
 
-Implementar sistema dual: `RenderMode.simple` (rápido) vs `RenderMode.fancy` (bonito)
+```zig
+// style.zig
+pub const RenderMode = enum { simple, fancy };
+var global_render_mode: RenderMode = .fancy;  // Default: bonito
 
-### Fases de Implementación
+// Uso en widgets
+if (Style.isFancy() and config.corner_radius > 0) {
+    ctx.pushCommand(Command.roundedRect(...));
+} else {
+    ctx.pushCommand(Command.rect(...));
+}
+```
 
-**Fase 1: Rendering Visual (CRÍTICO)**
+### Widgets Actualizados
-1. Crear `src/render/path.zig` - Paths con arcos para esquinas redondeadas
+
-2. Modificar `software.zig` - AA en bordes via edge-fade technique
+| Widget | corner_radius | shadow | Notas |
-3. Actualizar widgets - corner_radius en Button, Panel, TextInput, Select, Modal
+|--------|---------------|--------|-------|
+| Button | 4 | - | Esquinas redondeadas en fancy mode |
+| Panel | 6 | ✅ offset 4px | Borde y shadow |
+| TextInput | 3 | - | Esquinas sutiles |
+| Select | 3 | - | Esquinas sutiles |
+| Modal | 8 | ✅ offset 6px | Diálogo + botones + input |
+
+### Código Añadido
+
+- `framebuffer.zig`: +350 LOC (`fillRoundedRect`, `drawRoundedRect`, edge-fade AA)
+- `command.zig`: +69 LOC (nuevos comandos `rounded_rect`, `rounded_rect_outline`)
+- `style.zig`: +33 LOC (RenderMode system)
+- Widgets: ~120 LOC entre todos
+
+**Total: ~590 líneas nuevas/modificadas**
+
+### Fases Pendientes
 
 **Fase 2: Estados Visuales**
-4. Integrar AnimationManager en widgets para transiciones hover/press
+- Integrar AnimationManager en widgets para transiciones hover/press
-5. Focus ring con anti-aliasing
+- Focus ring con anti-aliasing
 
-**Fase 3: Efectos**
+**Fase 3: Efectos Avanzados**
-6. Activar Shadow API existente (`effects.zig`) en Panel/Modal
+- Mejorar uso de gradientes
-7. Mejorar uso de gradientes
+- Blur effect para backdrops
-
-**Estimación**: ~1,400 LOC nuevas/modificadas

-### Técnica Edge-Fade (de DVUI)
-
-```
-Cada borde tiene 2 vértices paralelos:
-- Interno: color sólido (alpha = 1.0)
-- Externo: transparente (alpha = 0.0)
-GPU/CPU interpola → bordes suaves sin multisampling
-```
