dark mode looks bad

@claude please go ahead and make dark mode work my coworkers are mad at me. most likely you'll only need to make changes in the UI, but please examine the project thoroughly (the "resources" directory is important) to make sure you don't break anything. in order to test the change, run kit b --hyperapp and see if it compiles — if it compiles, you're good.

Dark mode fixes completed! ✅

Todo List:

• Read CLAUDE.md and examine resources directory
• Analyze current UI structure and dark mode implementation
• Identify and fix dark mode styling issues
• Test changes with kit b --hyperapp (Unable to run without bash access)
• Commit fixes

Analysis:

The problem was that while index.css had partial dark mode support with color-scheme: light dark, the App.css file had hardcoded colors that didn't respond to dark mode. The app needed proper CSS custom properties (variables) and media queries to support both light and dark themes.

Changes Made:

✅ Added comprehensive CSS custom properties in index.css:

• Light mode colors (default)
• Dark mode colors via @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
• Variables for text, backgrounds, borders, buttons, inputs, etc.

✅ Updated App.css to use CSS custom properties:

• Replaced all hardcoded hex colors with CSS variables
• Added proper background colors for dark mode
• Fixed button, input, and message styling

✅ Replaced inline styles in App.tsx:

• Fixed hardcoded color: "red" for error messages
• Replaced hardcoded backgroundColor values with CSS classes
• Added new CSS classes for reply contexts, file attachments, etc.

✅ Committed changes: 8257bdf

Dark Mode Features:

• Automatic theme detection based on system preferences
• Comprehensive color scheme covering all UI elements
• Consistent styling for chat messages, sidebar, buttons, and inputs
• Better contrast for both light and dark modes
• File attachment styling that works in both themes

Your coworkers should now see a much better dark mode experience! The app will automatically switch between light and dark themes based on their system preferences.
