replace the monochrome theme with the CYBER neon-cyan skin
The project shipped a black-and-white theme that was only half converted:
the login page looked right, the message page was halfway, and the
settings page had not been started. This finishes the move to the CYBER
reference in prototype_reference/.

Colors now come from a single token source (styles/variables.scss), where
every semantic color is declared twice: once as OKLCH for the CSS, and
once as an RGB triple so translucent variants can be built as
rgba(var(--*-rgb), alpha). Cyan is the system itself, amber means the user
has to intervene, green means the machine is working, and red only ever
means something broke. The RGB triples are derived from the OKLCH values
so the two declarations cannot drift apart.

Pages adopt the .cy-* shell classes from the reference (view, panel,
kpis, tabs, grid, table, field) instead of ad-hoc markup, which is what
makes 19 of 26 views consistent. The remaining seven are deliberately
bespoke: chat streams, the kanban board, the workflow canvas, the
terminal, and the missing-agent screen.

The chart palette and the kanban column colors move into single-source
modules so they cannot drift either. A new guard test rejects raw hex
colors, named colors, and literal RGB triples anywhere in the client
source, with an explicit exemption list for the places that genuinely
cannot read a CSS variable. The existing chat semantics spec keeps the
chat chain honest.

No behavior changes: no logic, no i18n keys, no data structures, and the
/chat-run event contract is untouched.

2026-10-20 pending Chat and group chat dark-theme residue cleanup Message attachments, file cards, audio blocks, thinking headers and tool detail headers now paint from the CYBER token set instead of the light-theme black/white washes, so they are visible against the dark surfaces. Purely visual; no message shapes, socket events, or emission timing changed.

Light-theme residue in the chat surface

The CYBER theme is a single dark theme. A handful of surfaces inside the chat chain still carried the light-theme habit of tinting with rgba(0, 0, 0, α): a 4% black wash reads as "slightly grey" on white, and as "nothing at all" on --bg-input. Those surfaces had lost their fill entirely.

What changed

File Surface Before After
MarkdownRenderer.vue audio container, file card rgba(0,0,0,0.04) --bg-input
MarkdownRenderer.vue file card hover rgba(0,0,0,0.08) --bg-card-hover
MessageItem.vue attachment block rgba(0,0,0,0.04) --bg-input
MessageItem.vue thinking header hover, tool row hover rgba(0,0,0,0.03) rgba(255,255,255,0.05)
MessageItem.vue tool detail code header rgba(0,0,0,0.02) rgba(255,255,255,0.02)
GroupMessageItem.vue same three hover/header rules same same

The rule is directional: a fill uses a background token, a hover lift uses a white wash (there is no lighter token that reads correctly on top of --bg-input), and a divider tint uses a 2% white wash.

Not changed

Message rendering, streaming, tool-call grouping, and the /chat-run event contract. This fragment exists because the touched files sit on the chat chain path, not because any behavior moved.

Verification

npm run harness:check and npm run build pass. The existing tests/e2e/chat-cyber-semantics.spec.ts still passes unchanged.
