Summary

• Fix legibility issues: Tokyo Night (Muted ≈ Fg, SelectedBg == Panel), Catppuccin Mocha (pastel semantics, SelectedBg == Panel), tighten zebra contrast on Catppuccin/Everforest
• Replace Nord (broken text hierarchy) and Gruvbox (unappealing green) with Rosé Pine and Dracula
• Add Kanagawa and Everforest as new themes (7 total)
• Order themes by warm→cool color temperature for smooth cycling

Themes

1. Flexoki Dark (warm earth)
2. Everforest (warm green)
3. Kanagawa (warm→cool bridge)
4. Tokyo Night (cool blue)
5. Catppuccin Mocha (cool purple)
6. Rosé Pine (warm purple)
7. Dracula (bold finish)

Test plan

• Cycle through all 7 themes with T, verify legibility
• Zebra striping subtle on all themes (especially Catppuccin, Everforest)
• Selected row visually distinct from unselected on all themes
• Semantic colors (success/warning/danger) read clearly on all themes
• Muted text distinguishable from primary Fg on all themes
• Theme preference persists across restarts

feat(tui): overhaul theme palette for legibility ... c1955a4c80

Replace Nord and Gruvbox with Rosé Pine and Dracula. Add Kanagawa
and Everforest. Fix legibility issues across remaining themes:

- Tokyo Night: separate Muted from Fg, distinct SelectedBg
- Catppuccin Mocha: bolder semantic colors, tighter zebra, distinct SelectedBg
- Order themes by warm→cool color temperature for smooth cycling
