{# FAVORITE-LIMIT MODAL — fires when a non-premium user hits the 3-favorite cap. Mirrors the iOS PremiumGateSheet's .bookmarkLimit case: same copy direction (limit reached → unlimited with Premium), same primary CTA shape. Triggered from toggle_fave (pre-flight) and the 403 error handler. #} {# ALERTS-IN-APP MODAL — opened from the Account dropdown's "Alerts" link. Push-notification alerts (snow / flow / buoy / ski) are managed in the iOS app because they require APNs + device tokens; the webapp has no equivalent surface, so the right thing to do is point users at the App Store.
