vh 45c1995d7a feat(homepage): Australis Skyfall theme + Arbo-generated aurora background
Replaces the previous theme attempt, which was built on a misread: the ask was
to use Arbo as an IMAGE-GEN ENGINE for the background, with the operator's
Australis Skyfall design system supplying the palette.

theme/ holds the source — colors/layout/typography vendored verbatim from the
Skyfall handoff bundle, Supreme 400/500/700 woff2, the Homepage bindings in
skyfall.css.in, and build.py which inlines fonts + tokens into
conf/custom.css. custom.css is GENERATED; edit the .in file and rebuild.

The build exists because Homepage serves only custom.css and custom.js out of
its config dir, so a @font-face pointing at a vendored woff2 would 404 — the
face has to arrive as a data: URI. The background image takes the other route:
/app/public/images is a real static route, so compose.yaml now mounts
images/ there read-only and settings.yaml points at /images/.

Bindings map Skyfall's semantic layer onto Homepage's DOM: Sea surfaces, the
depth recipe (hairline AND two-layer shadow, never one alone), uppercase
eyebrow group headers, the sanctioned accent-rail on the active tab rather
than a glow, and semantic status colour so a green pill means the service is
actually serving.

Background generated by Arbo (irv-ml1:8201) workflow t2i-ui-background, job
13f0891f4e42, seed 26, flux2-klein-9b, 2048x1152 — abstract, no subject,
cool-temperature aurora. 1.6 MB PNG -> 22 KB WebP.

Two deviations are documented rather than hidden: Skyfall forbids imagery
behind body text (held at opacity 30 as mitigation), and service icons stay
full-colour vendor logos.

NOT DEPLOYED — live still runs the old theme. Prototype on :5199.
