* fix: light theme sidebar, roles, chips, active states -- full polish
Comprehensive light theme overrides for every remaining hardcoded
dark-theme element:
Sidebar:
- Session items: warm dark text instead of faint muted gray
- Active session: blue accent (matching --blue) instead of washed-out gold
- Pin stars/headers: deep gold #996b15 instead of bright yellow #f5c542
- Session actions gradient: light bg instead of dark overlay
- Search input: dark borders, proper focus ring
Role labels:
- You: solid #2d6fa3 blue instead of faint rgba(124,185,255,0.65)
- Hermes: solid #8a6520 gold instead of faint rgba(201,168,76,0.6)
- Role icons: proper bg/border contrast for light backgrounds
Chips and interactive elements:
- Project chips: dark borders, dark hover states
- Model chip: blue accent matching theme
- New chat button: blue accent borders
- All hover states: rgba(0,0,0,.XX) instead of rgba(255,255,255,.XX)
Other surfaces:
- Composer box borders and focus ring
- Tool cards, cron items, suggestions
- File tree hover, preview badges
- Profile/workspace dropdown hovers
- Settings, nav tooltips

* docs: update THEMES.md with all current CSS variables
Added typography variables (--strong, --em, --code-text, --code-inline-bg,
--pre-text) to the custom theme guide. Added note about light theme
selector overrides needed for hover/border contrast.

Root cause: topbar, dropdowns, toast, approval card, tooltips, main area,
inputs, and hover states all used hardcoded rgba(22,33,62), #1a2535, etc.
These only looked correct on the Dark theme — all other themes showed
jarring dark-navy elements on non-navy backgrounds.
New CSS variables added to every theme block:
- --surface: dropdowns, popups, toast, approval card
- --topbar-bg: topbar background
- --main-bg: main chat area background
- --input-bg: subtle input/button backgrounds
- --hover-bg: hover state backgrounds
- --focus-ring / --focus-glow: focus border and box-shadow
Light theme now has proper light-colored surfaces, inputs, and hover
states instead of invisible white-on-white.
THEMES.md updated with all new variables documented.
