feat(ds): add a Skeleton primitive and align public loading states - #1498
The design system had no skeleton primitive, so every loading state hand-rolled its own. That left two kinds of defect across public pages: inconsistent tint, and skeletons whose shape did not match the content they stood in for, causing a layout jump when loading finished.
This adds Skeleton / SkeletonGroup to the DS and converts the public loading states to use them, fixing the shape mismatches found along the way.
New DS primitive
Skeleton and SkeletonGroup in ds/ui/index.tsx, documented at /ds/skeleton with a sidebar entry.
The tint is an alpha overlay (bg-text-primary/10), not an opaque surface token. An opaque background-subtle reads lighter than the page in dark mode but darker than an elevated card, inverting as it moves between surfaces. The alpha tint never inverts.
aria-hidden on each block, role="status" + aria-busy on the group.
The pulse is wrapped in motion-safe:.

Partners grid
The real grid has three tiers (gold 7 / silver 5 / bronze 4) with per-tier cell sizes, followed by the OSS sponsors band. The old skeleton had two uniform bands and stopped before the sponsors band.
NPM stats
Shared skeleton
PartnersGridSkeleton walks the same tierLayout and partner counts as the real grid, and is shared by both callers (PartnersSponsorsSection and HomeSocialProofSection) instead of each keeping its own approximation.
Behavior change
HomeApplicationStarterFallback had no pulse before; converting it to Skeleton adds one.
Not included
Four exports in HomeSectionFallbacks.tsx have zero references — HomeSocialProofFallback, HomeCommunityFallback, HomeNewsletterFallback, HomeStatsFallback. They still carry legacy gray classes but render nowhere, so deleting them is left to a separate PR.
src/chat (has its own LoadingState), admin and account loading states are untouched.
Test plan
tsc --noEmit clean
/ds/skeleton renders in light and dark; nav entry in alphabetical order
Home renders with no console errors and no legacy gray pulse remaining

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a Design System page with examples of skeleton sizing, surface styles, accessible grouping, motion behavior, and content-matched layouts.
Added reusable skeleton loading indicators with accessible loading labels.
Improvements
Updated loading states across community, partner, showcase, post, package, and download-stat sections to use shared skeleton indicators.
Adjusted placeholder layouts in several sections to more closely match their content.

Walkthrough
The change adds shared Skeleton and SkeletonGroup components, adds a partner-grid skeleton, and updates loading states across the site to use them. It also adds a design-system page with skeleton examples and registers the page in navigation and route metadata.
Adds PartnersGridSkeleton, which filters partners by status and renders placeholders for populated tiers and, optionally, the sponsors band. Partner and social-proof loading states use the shared skeleton components.
Replaces local loading placeholders with shared skeleton components. The showcase card adds placeholders for a second tagline line and voting controls; the community showcase loading state adds an icon and text rows.
Design-system page and route src/routes/ds.skeleton.tsx, src/components/ds/ds-nav.ts, src/routes/ds.index.tsx, src/routeTree.gen.ts
Adds a design-system page with skeleton examples and descriptions. Adds its navigation and icon entries and registers the route in the generated route tree.
TanStack/tanstack.com#1075: Both PRs change SocialProofSkeleton in src/components/home/HomeSocialProofSection.tsx and use different placeholder implementations.

the skeleton page so their IDs are generated from their titles via

The shared skeletons look useful, but the new documentation page has broken section links. I independently checked the mismatch CodeRabbit flagged: the sidebar generates fragments from the four section titles, while the page overrides them with different IDs. Please remove those four explicit IDs so DsSection generates the matching fragments.
AI review notes: Reviewed the diff at cf83ed6 and confirmed DsSection uses id ?? toDsSectionId(title). This is a source review, not independent confirmation of the reported browser measurements. Please also verify the four sidebar links on the updated preview.
@tannerlinsley Removed the four explicit id props in 787241dd so DsSection falls back to toDsSectionId(title); all four sidebar links now scroll to their sections on the preview.
