feat(hyprland): themed backdrop — misc:background_color from the palette (item 28c)

The compositor backdrop behind a missing or still-loading wallpaper
was hard black; on light themes that flash reads as a glitch (caught
by the 1080p capture harness on summer-day). Now the theme's base
color, so every wallpaper-less moment stays in-palette.

Also from the summer-day capture review: the authored whole-swap menu
+ island bar survive the 28b retunes as one coherent identity (the
slate menu deliberately mirrors the bar strip — an earlier "polarity"
concern retracted); nit filed for the undimmed placeholder in the two
summer rasi. Punch list updated in item 28.

Verified: V0; V1 — template-home rebuilt, hyprland.conf renders
background_color=rgb(1a1b26). Visual confirmation rides the next
capture run.

+## 2026-07-05 — summer-day capture review + themed backdrop (iteration #35, item 28c)
+- **Task:** item 28 slice (c) — whole-swap capture review + the first
+  cheap polish fix.
+- **Did:** captured summer-day at 1080p (harness, VM): the authored
+  slate menu + island-pill bar hold up with the 28b retunes —
+  initially misread as polarity soup, but the rasi whole-swap
+  deliberately mirrors the bar's slate strip: identity, keep (nit
+  filed: undimmed entry placeholder). The surviving cross-theme fix:
+  Hyprland `misc:background_color` = theme base (was compositor
+  black — a glitch-looking flash behind missing/slow wallpaper,
+  glaring on light themes). Punch list updated.
+- **Verified:** V0; V1 — template-home rebuilt, rendered hyprland.conf
+  carries `background_color=rgb(1a1b26)` (theme base). Backdrop
+  visible confirmation rides the next capture run / V3.
+- **Pending:** captures for latte + one identity theme; polish items
+  queued: bar group margins, @muted adoption, rofi hint column, icon
+  weight `[human]`.
+- **Next suggestion:** bar polish slice (group margins + @muted) —
+  code-level, verifiable by build + re-capture.
