• Forces SurfaceDark background on pickerBox and inputBoxStyle so TUI menus remain readable on mismatched terminal backgrounds
• Synchronizes glamour markdown rendering with the active app theme instead of relying on unreliable terminal auto-detection
• Updates status bar to dynamically obey selected theme colors

Adversarial review — findings resolved ✅

Follow-up review of this PR flagged 5 issues, all fixed in 09a1139 and verified (go build, go vet, go test -race ./internal/tui ./internal/repl, full go test ./... — all green).

#	Severity	Finding	Resolution
1	Medium-High	Glamour markdown renderer was built once in NewTerminal() reading ThemeIsDark, so a live /theme switch left markdown on the old polarity until restart	ApplyTheme now rebuilds renderers of all live terminals via a registry (refreshLiveTerminalRenderers); renderer swap is mutex-guarded so it can't race an in-flight render; stale "takes full effect on restart" message removed
2	Medium	Picker selection highlight nearly invisible: pickerRowSelected bg (SurfaceSelect 237) vs new pickerBox bg (SurfaceDark 236) — Δ1 step in every dark theme	Palette raised in all 10 themes (dark: 237→241, neon 236→240, radiance 225→217, goldenhour 223→220)
3	Medium	statusMetricsStyle had no background — the metrics line still floated in the exact mismatched-terminal scenario this PR targets	Now paints SurfaceDark in both ApplyTheme and the input.go default
4	Low	gofmt violation introduced in theme.go	Fixed (only pre-existing diff.go noise remains, untouched by this PR)
5	Coverage	theme_test.go would pass on the original invisible-text bug	5 new regression tests: polarity flag, style-background assertions, SurfaceSelect↔SurfaceDark contrast ≥4 steps, renderer polarity swap, live-terminal refresh

Also verified clean during review: startup ordering (theme applied before every NewTerminal() call site), lipgloss.SetHasDarkBackground has no other consumer, and the ThemeIsDark=true default matches the historic fallback.
