Buddi Sites: Purchase limit meter in the cart

New Feature
Improvement

Buddi Sites now show shoppers how close they are to the 30g dried equivalent purchase limit as they shop. Menus already stopped carts from going over the limit, but shoppers didn't know how close they were until an item was refused. Concentrates made this especially confusing. A 1 g vape counts as 4 g, so a cart could look small and still be near the cap.

A new meter appears in three places: at the top of the cart drawer, as a ring around the cart icon in the header, and in the checkout order summary. It shows how much of the limit is used and how much room is left (for example, 6.5 g of 30 g, 23.5 g of room left). It updates right away when items are added, removed, or changed. It changes to a warning state at 80%, and once the cart passes that point, product cards show each size's dried equivalent (for example, 1 g ยท counts as 4 g).

The message shoppers see when an item won't fit has also been rewritten. The old message was "You have reached the maximum amount of cannabis products for possession." The new one says what happened and why, for example: "That won't fit in this order. A 1 g vape counts as 4 g against the 30 g legal limit. You have 2.5 g left." It also includes a button to view the cart.

How the limit is enforced hasn't changed, including validation when the order is placed. Shoppers can now see the limit coming instead of finding out when an item is refused.
