- * The chat always renders on the light workspace surface
- * (`bg-[#f2f0e7]`, near-black text), but the app forces the dark theme
- * app-wide (`forcedTheme="dark"`). Streamdown's code/table/mermaid chrome and
- * the rules below read theme tokens, which under `.dark` resolve to near-black
- * values — producing unreadable dark-on-dark blocks. Re-declare the relevant
- * tokens to warm-light values inside the markdown context so every token-driven
- * chrome (headers, copy/download/fullscreen controls, table borders/cells,
- * inline code) reads correctly on the light surface without touching the
- * global theme or unrelated UI.
