The download links added in fd1e4ae carried their own copy of BaseButton's
class list, because BaseButton is a <button> and cannot hold an href — and a
download must be an anchor, so the browser's own download manager gets the
3-95 MB transfer instead of a blob this app would have to hold in memory.

A copy is not a solution to that; it is two primary buttons that look alike
until someone changes one. So the shape moves to `.btn` + `.btn-primary` /
`.btn-ghost` in the components layer, where both elements can wear it, and
neither owns it.

The `disabled:` variants stay on BaseButton. An anchor has no :disabled, so
they were never shared and pretending otherwise would put a rule in the
shared definition that only one of its two users can ever match.

Verified there is exactly one shape to unify and no third copy: `px-4 py-2.5`
appears in three other files and all three are something else (a toast, a
dashed quick-add affordance, a retention notice). The smaller brand buttons in
AppShell and NoteEditor are a different size, which is a size-variant question
and not this one. And exactly one call site passes a class to BaseButton —
`shrink-0` — which cannot conflict with anything the shape declares.

<!-- A plain anchor, never BaseButton and never a fetch: these are 395 MB

filename because the server already names the file in its
Content-Disposition, which browsers prefer over this attribute
anyway — a value here would be inert and read as if it weren't. -->
