Sameen Karim 797c62e9b4 Adapt theme colors to light and dark terminals (#149)
* Make the TUIs adapt to light and dark terminal backgrounds

The submit, view, and modify TUIs were tuned for dark terminals. On light
or solarized-light backgrounds the result was hard to read and inverted:
primary text used ANSI white (invisible on white), dim chrome used light
grays (too faint), and accents used bright cyan (low contrast) — so
"active" things looked lighter than "disabled" ones.

Introduce a centralized, background-aware color palette and migrate all
three TUIs to it:

- internal/tui/shared/theme.go: a semantic palette of lipgloss.AdaptiveColor
  values (primary/muted/faint text, chrome/border, accent, PR-state colors,
  badge backgrounds, row shade, button, switch). lipgloss resolves the
  light/dark variant per render from the terminal background, which Bubble
  Tea detects at startup; terminals that don't report it fall back to dark,
  preserving the original look.
- Replace every hardcoded ANSI color in shared/, submitview/, and
  modifyview/ with palette roles. The four pre-rendered status icons now
  render at use-time so their adaptive colors resolve correctly. The submit
  markdown preview picks glamour's light or dark style from the detected
  background.
- GH_STACK_THEME=auto|light|dark forces the palette for terminals that
  mis-detect (some SSH/tmux setups); wired via the root command's
  PersistentPreRun before any render. Documented in the README and CLI docs.

Neutral text/chrome use truecolor hex (GitHub Primer-inspired) for
predictability across themes, including solarized which repurposes ANSI
8-15; lipgloss downsamples on terminals without truecolor.

Tests verify the palette resolves differently for light vs dark and that
GH_STACK_THEME is honored.

* Apply background-aware colors to all command output

Background detection and the GH_STACK_THEME override (added for the TUIs)
only affected the interactive screens. Plain command output -- status
messages and interactive prompts -- went through the mgutz/ansi library
with fixed ANSI palette names (green/red/yellow/cyan/...), so it never
adapted to the terminal background and could read poorly on light or
solarized themes.

Unify everything on the same adaptive palette so all colors react to the
detected background and to GH_STACK_THEME.

- Extract internal/theme, a foundational package with no internal
  dependencies, that owns:
    - the background-aware lipgloss.AdaptiveColor palette (moved out of
      internal/tui/shared),
    - ApplyOverride(), the GH_STACK_THEME=auto|light|dark logic, and
    - non-TUI colorizers (Success/Error/Warning/Blue/Magenta/Cyan/Gray/
      Bold) plus FgSeqs(), which returns the raw start/reset escapes used
      to color the user's echoed prompt input.
- internal/tui/shared/theme.go now re-exports the palette, so the TUI code
  keeps referring to shared.ColorX unchanged.
- internal/config/config.go wires the Config.Color* funcs to the theme
  colorizers and drops mgutz/ansi (now an indirect dependency only).
- cmd/utils.go colors the prompt icon and echoed input via theme.
- cmd/root.go calls theme.ApplyOverride() in PersistentPreRun.

Detection adds no cost: because the command package imports Bubble Tea,
its init() already triggers (and caches) the terminal background query for
every command, so the non-TUI colorizers just read the cached value.
Terminals that don't answer the query fall back to the dark palette;
GH_STACK_THEME=light|dark forces it. Colors are truecolor on capable
terminals and downsample to the nearest ANSI color elsewhere.

Tests: internal/theme covers palette adaptiveness, ApplyOverride, the
colorizers, and FgSeqs; a new internal/config test verifies the wired-up
Config.Color* funcs adapt to the background when color is enabled.

Docs: README and the CLI reference note that GH_STACK_THEME now controls
all colored output, not just the interactive screens.

No behavior change beyond colors.
