iris 51a9262202 theme: add --muted-on-dim, a --muted anchored to --purple-dim instead of --bg
--muted is color-mix()'d toward --base00/--bg — correct for dimmed text
on the page background, wrong for dimmed text sitting on the elevated
--purple-dim fill (badge/dropdown-item backgrounds). Badge's label/caret
used bare --muted there and mara measured it at ~1.3:1 contrast against
her theme's badge fill, essentially invisible.

--muted-on-dim mixes toward --purple-dim instead, same contrast-floor
technique as --muted itself, just anchored to the surface it's actually
used on. Applied to .ui-badge-label/.ui-badge-caret and to Dropdown's
active-item description (same bug: its row bg is --purple-dim too).

Ceiling note: even plain --fg only reaches ~3.4:1 against --purple-dim
in mara's theme, short of formal 4.5:1 AA — that's the theme's own
limit, not something the anchor choice can fix on its own. 90% gets
close to that ceiling (~3:1, more than double the old ~1.3:1) while
keeping a hint of the label/value visual distinction.

/* Semantic theme layer — derived from the base16 contract in
`colors.css`. This is what the app references (`--bg`, `--fg`,
`--purple`, …); page CSS must use these names, never literal colours
and never the raw `--baseNN` slots.
Standalone stylesheet, linked by every page right AFTER `colors.css`
(which defines the `--baseNN` slots these rules resolve against). Kept
separate from the page bundles — esbuild would otherwise inline an
`@import` and bake the palette into every CSS bundle.
A theme swap touches only `colors.css` (the 16 base16 slots); this
derivation layer never changes. See docs/web-ui/css-vars.md. */

and mara measured it at ~1.3:1 against her theme's badge fill —
`--muted` had never been checked against anything but `--bg`. This
variant mixes toward the *actual* surface it sits on instead, same
technique, correct anchor. Ceiling note: even plain `--fg` (100% —
the max this can approach) only reaches ~3.4:1 against `--purple-dim`
