Modern redesign: Inter font, gradient header, pill filters, urgency cards

- Inter (Google Fonts) replaces system sans-serif throughout
- Header: dark indigo gradient (1e1b4b → 4f46e5) with glow shadow
- Top strip: matching indigo-to-violet gradient
- Page background: slate-100 (#f1f5f9) so white cards pop
- Filter checkboxes: pill-style toggles using :has(input:checked),
  active state fills indigo — no JS changes needed
- Conference cards: 4px left border color-coded by urgency
  (red < 7d, amber < 30d, green otherwise), updated each tick
- CORE rank: purple badge; abstract deadline: rose badge
- Past Deadlines toggle: cleaner row with indigo hover accent
- Sort and search controls: unified indigo accent colour
- Footer: centered, muted
