Two reports on the PicoCalc's message paths, one root cause each.
The graph drew an unnamed hop's hash — and the sender's name — as white,
the "you" colour. MapCanvas emits its own bold for markers and labels,
and its colours arrive already quantized to a palette slot; the kernel VT
then draws bold as *brightness*, so anything that landed in the dim bank
was promoted to its bright partner. Light grey became white. A purple
repeater would have become pink the same way. The canvas now drops
emphasis where bold is brightness — the colour is the load-bearing part.
The same trap reaches the theme through inheritance: Rich merges a row's
base style into every span, so a dim-slot span left silent about bold
changes colour inside a selected row. Every dim-slot style now says which
it means — `not bold` to keep its colour, `bold` where the promotion is
the point (only title.muted) — and a test forbids staying silent.
The pathline drew the same hop dark grey, because `muted` collapses onto
the console's dark grey while the desktop's is light. That conflated two
things: `muted` is chrome and may recede a step, but a node we can't
identify is content you can still act on. It gets its own name,
`node.unknown` — light grey, identical to today's desktop muted, so
nothing moves there — and it is what `name_style` returns keyless, what
an unlit `highlighted_hash` wears, and what the `○` ring is.
Also fixes a crash from the previous commit: the graph's label colour
resolved a marker through `parse_hex`, which the type marks' theme names
are not. A repeater relay we couldn't name would have raised.
The gallery's node-detail header spelled a marker hex by hand; it goes
through the app's own styles now, so a palette bug can't hide behind it.
