Illegal drops previously snapped each dragged card to its origin
slot and ran a horizontal ShakeAnim wiggle for negative feedback —
which read as punitive on every misclick. The rejection now plays
a 150 ms quintic ease-out glide from the drop location back to the
resting slot. The audio cue (card_invalid.wav) still fires so the
player gets clear "no" feedback; the visual is just gentler.
Both rejection paths in input_plugin (mouse end_drag and touch
end_drag) construct a CardAnimation::slide(drag_pos → target_pos)
with MotionCurve::Responsive — the curve module's own docs
recommend Responsive specifically for invalid snap-back because its
zero overshoot reads forgiving rather than jittery.
card_plugin's update_card_entity gates its snap path on
CardAnimation absence so the StateChangedEvent that follows a
rejection no longer fights the in-flight tween. Mirrors how
resize_cards_in_place already drops in-flight tweens during a
window resize.
ShakeAnim itself stays in feedback_anim_plugin — the right-click
invalid-target and double-click in-place rejection paths still use
it because there's no movement to interpolate, just a "no" wiggle.
Only the drag-rejection path swaps to the smooth tween.
Six new rejection-tween tests pin the contract: CardAnimation is
inserted on every dragged card, start/end positions and z values
match the drag-to-resting transition, duration matches the new
MOTION_DRAG_REJECT_SECS token, and the curve is Responsive. The
two legacy ShakeAnim drag-rejection tests are removed since their
contract is intentionally inverted by this commit.
