BLOCKED ON USER INPUT: explore and propose new color palettes/presets to replace or complement the current midnight preset. Current tokens are in web/static/app.css (:root) and sketches/themes/tokens.css. Deliverable: 2-3 candidate presets as tokens.css blocks, rendered as screenshots of the real app for comparison, then user picks.

User-provided candidate palettes (all pastel)

Pastel Lavender (colorui.io/palettes/pastel-lavender)
#e6e0f5 #cbb8e7 #b29edb #9b85cf #806bb8 (Pale Lilac to Middle Blue Purple)

Pastel Peach (colorui.io/palettes/pastel-peach)
#ffe0d6 #ffc4a8 #ffa78f #ff8b76 #f9826c (Millennial Pink to Salmon)

Pastel Cloud (colorui.io/palettes/pastel-cloud)
#cdb4db #ffc8dd #ffafcc #bde0fe #a2d2ff (Wisteria, Macaron Pink, Powder Pink, Beau Blue, Baby Blue Eyes)

Additional requirement

Reserve semantic status colors for success / error / warning feedback (toasts, validation, banners) that exist independently of whichever base palette is active. They need not be literal green/yellow/red; pick pastel-compatible hues (sage green, dusty rose, amber) with 4.5:1 contrast on both light and dark surfaces.

Deliverable

Implement as additional [data-preset] blocks in web/static/app.css (alongside midnight and smooth), render real screenshots of each, present side-by-side for user selection.
