New TUI themes (Solarized, Tokyo Night, One Dark, Rosé Pine, …) #39

Description

@aakashrajput

Why

13 built-in themes today (Dark, Light, Dracula, Nord, Ayu, Catppuccin (Mocha), Gruvbox, Neon, Synthwave, Ember, Matrix, Cobalt, Midnight). Themes are the friendliest possible first contribution — self-contained, visual, zero risk.

What

Contribute new color themes. Note: Nord, Gruvbox, and Catppuccin (Mocha flavor) already exist — pick from what's actually missing:

  • Solarized (light + dark)
  • Catppuccin's other 3 flavors (Latte, Frappé, Macchiato — only Mocha exists today) (Done by @siddhanttiwari19 )
  • Tokyo Night (Done by @floze-the-genius )
  • One Dark
  • Rosé Pine
  • A high-contrast accessibility theme

A theme is a palette object — see src/engine/theme.ts for the shape and existing examples (e.g. CATPPUCCIN_PALETTE at line 164 for the pattern to follow for the other flavors). Register it, and /theme picks it up automatically.

Guidelines

  • Check contrast: body text, dim/secondary text, diff green/red, selection highlight all readable on the theme background
  • Test in a real terminal with /theme <name> — include a screenshot in your PR
  • One theme (or one family, e.g. all 3 remaining Catppuccin flavors) per PR

Acceptance criteria

  • Theme selectable via /theme, persists across restart
  • Screenshot in PR; typecheck green
