style(tui): restore Australis, $background → pure black (v0.6.3)
released this
2026-05-24 18:20:57 -07:00 | 254 commits to main since this releaseReverts v0.6.2's over-correction. The operator clarified: the
complaint was specifically about the APP BACKGROUND going from
black to a shade of blue, not about the cumulative cast across
all Australis dark surfaces. v0.6.2 globally neutralized Ice + Sea
darks → too far.v0.6.3 = v0.6.1 palette + $background override only
Restored verbatim from v0.6.1:
$foreground #a9bcc3 (Ice white)
$surface #373b46 (Sea bright-black, chrome bg)
$panel #414751 (Sea dark 30, borders)
$au-dark-30..60 Australis Sea palette
$au-bright-70/80 Australis Sea brights
$au-bright-white #cce7ec (Ice highlight)
Aurora accents bright-blue/cyan/green — verbatim
Dawn accents red/yellow — verbatim
_AU_DEMOTED #86929d (Sea dark 60)
_AU_DEMOTED_FAINT #6e7882 (Sea dark 50)ONE deviation from Australis spec:
$background #222531 (Ice black) → #000000 (pure black)
Rationale: Ice black is RGB(34, 37, 49) — blue +44% over red. At
App-wide scale (the dominant fill across the entire screen) the
cumulative cast reads as "the app is blue" even though no single
rect is in the conventional-blue range. Other dark surfaces are
smaller chrome bands where the cool lean reads as character not
background; only $background gets the override.What stayed Australis
Every cosmetic element where the operator hasn't pushed back:
identity widget (Aurora bright-blue), pane-name (Aurora bright-cyan),
[done]/[error]/[cancelled] labels (Aurora green / Dawn red/yellow),
focus borders (Aurora blue / accent cyan), demoted telemetry text
(Sea dark-60), placeholder lines (Sea dark-50), Header/Footer chrome
(Sea bright-black bg + Ice white-blue fg), separators (Sea dark-30).Brand fidelity preserved; only the dominant background surface
neutralized.Tests + smoke
241/241 GREEN; ruff clean. Live screenshot export:
- $background = #000000 (230 fill rects — dominant surface)
- $surface = #373b46 (29 fill rects — Australis Sea bright-black)
- Sea panels + dark-50 still present in chrome
- Aurora #6388D8 still primary
Patch bump (v0.6.2 → v0.6.3) — cosmetic refinement; no public-API
