Bernardo Magri a643391d3d fix(swaync): palette-safe pairings — text was invisible on summer-day (item 25) ...

Palette roles aren't uniform: summer-day and flexoki-light use subtext
as text-ON-surface (== base) and surface as a dark chip (== text), so
swaync's @subtext-on-@base body text and @surface/@text buttons were
self-colored (caught on the Latitude).

- body/summary: @text on @base — the one text pairing that passes in
  every palette (survey: worst WCAG ratio 5.18 across all 21 themes;
  subtext/base bottomed at 1.00 twice, muted/base at 1.27).
- hover rows + widget-title buttons: alpha(@text, 0.1) tints —
  contrast by construction; subtext/surface defines dropped.
- NEW checks.theme-contrast (tools/check-theme-contrast.py): asserts
  the hex-on-hex text pairings across themes/*.json, cheap (no VM).

The audit also found the generated waybar/rofi CSS shares the bug
class, live on flexoki-light (no whole-swap) → BACKLOG item 27.

Verified: V0; V1 (checks.theme-contrast builds green, 21 themes;
rendered services.swaync.style has zero @subtext/@surface). Honesty:
NOT visually verified — V3 queued (notify-send on summer-day).
