Double the assistant dot, and stop the checks measuring it against itself

26 → 52px, 14 → 28px for the sparkle. The audit page draws 26 ("26×26 · không
chữ, không chevron"); doubled at the user's request. Still half the area of the
84×64 button it replaced: 2704 vs 5376px².

Four checks pinned the old number. Three now read the size the design actually
claims rather than a literal — square, at least 24px to hit, and smaller than
what it replaced — and check_design_parity records the deviation in its item
label instead of scoring 52px against a 26px expectation.

The fourth attempt was worse than the literal: I had check_layout_geometry
import _DOT and compare against it, which makes it unfailable — change the
constant and the expectation moves too. check_probes_bite caught that, reporting
that doubling _DOT again left the checker green. It now bounds the range
(24..64, square), which the mutation does break.

24/24 checkers pass; check_multi_screen took the teardown segfault once in three
standalone runs.
