* [AI] Persist custom CSS overrides as a standalone global pref Moves the custom CSS override out of the InstalledTheme JSON blob into a dedicated customCssOverride global pref so that overrides survive switching themes, clearing installed themes, or toggling auto/light/dark mode. Includes a one-time migration that lifts the legacy overrideCss field out of installedCustomLightTheme / installedCustomDarkTheme JSON. - Add customCssOverride global pref (loot-core types + server defaults) - Inject the override as a trailing style layer in CustomThemeStyle so it layers on top of any installed custom theme - Drop overrideCss from the InstalledTheme type; extractLegacyOverride + migrateLegacyOverride handle the one-time lift with whitespace trim - Run the migration from CustomThemeStyle with an idempotent effect that re-runs safely once prefs hydrate - Bind the ThemeInstaller textarea directly to the new pref - Add a "Custom CSS is active" indicator button next to the theme selector that opens the installer for editing the override without flipping auto mode to light - Pre-switch out of auto when the user picks "Custom theme" from the main selector, so the flag that used to distinguish entry points goes away and handleInstall collapses to a pure slot dispatch - Tests: hermetic Themes settings tests, expanded customThemes unit tests covering extraction/migration/trim edge cases, updated ThemeInstaller tests for the new pref binding Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * [AI] Address review feedback for custom CSS override installer Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * [AI] Defer auto-mode theme switch and guard stale installer callbacks Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
