The theme registry carried a hand-maintained set of hex swatches for
every palette, and they had drifted away from the CSS the app actually
paints. The picker previewed colours the product never showed.
The registry now holds only what cannot be read from CSS — id, label,
tagline, fonts, radius — and the picker, the Settings swatches and the
preview cards resolve --background, --primary and --foreground off the
theme itself. A preview can no longer disagree with the screen it
previews.
themes.css is rewritten so every palette carries a real dark surface,
and the palettes that are dark by nature stay dark whichever way the
mode switch is set. The pre-hydration script validates the stored theme
id against the registry, so a retired id falls back to WFDASH instead of
painting an unstyled page, and the old "warm" mode migrates to Light.
The legacy text-{warn,success,info}-foreground classes now resolve to
the semantic text colour and switch to the filled ink only on an exact
solid fill, so one class reads correctly on both a tinted badge and a
filled button. A solid focus outline replaces the faint ring, and the
charts and quote status badges take their colours from tokens rather
than hard-coded dark strokes.
Tests: theme-bootstrap.test.tsx covers saved-theme recovery and the
storage-blocked path; e2e/themes.spec.ts walks every palette in both
modes checking surface contrast, tinted and solid semantic pairs, focus
colour, chart tokens and the destructive hover, and asserts that the
picker preview matches the applied theme.
