Owner

Parent: #648
Depends on: #650
Design freeze: PR #649

Goal

Ship the real theme selector shown in the drawer architecture using the semantic token system from #650. This is Zara/Android presentation and stays in Zara; no Prolog-RLM issue is required for visual theme policy.

Built-ins

Outrun — default
StarIntel — black + gold
Midnight — dark violet/blue
Terminal — black + green
Light — neutral light
System — follows Android

Required behavior

compact theme preview cards;
live application without screen-specific forks;
selected theme survives recreation/restart;
System follows platform appearance changes;
reduced-glow/accessibility-friendly mode;
semantic status colors remain distinguishable across themes;
background ambience adapts or disappears where it harms contrast.

RED-first tests

every semantic token role exists in every built-in theme;
no route depends on a hard-coded Outrun-only color constant;
selection persists;
System reacts to dark/light configuration;
reduced glow removes decorative bloom but preserves focus/state hierarchy;
minimum contrast/accessibility checks for core text/status surfaces;
representative screenshot snapshot per theme.

Screenshot evidence

selector grid/list;
Outrun chat;
StarIntel chat/drawer;
Light chat;
Terminal or Midnight representative surface;
reduced-glow Outrun.

Acceptance

all six built-ins render the same component hierarchy from semantic tokens;
Outrun remains default;
selector previews are usable and compact;
selection persists and System follows Android;
reduced-glow mode is tested;
deterministic screenshots and Android/Core exact-head gates are green.
