Subject: [PATCH] fix: eliminate layout shift on input border indicator using
 box-shadow
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace border-based left indicator with inset box-shadow to prevent unwanted layout shifts when focusing or marking fields as dirty. The solution reserves 4px space with transparent shadow in default state and transitions to colored shadow on focus/dirty without affecting the box model. Update all form components (input, textarea, select, datalist) for consistency.
