The "ready" / "cold" / "unavailable" dots in the AppHeader status
indicator were pulling --color-success / --color-warning /
--color-danger which after the foundation pass became Moss /
Warning gold-brown / Error terracotta — all visibly muted. The
green-ready dot in particular read too dark to register as a
"ready light", and the pulse glow (bright emerald) had nothing to
glow off of.
Status dots are indicator *lights*, not semantic-palette UI
elements. Decouple them with hardcoded vital values:
- ready: #4ade80 (matches the existing pulse glow)
- cold: #facc15
- red: #ef4444
Orange already used a hardcoded bright #f97316; left as-is.
The rest of the system continues to use --color-success /
--color-warning / --color-danger semantically (toast-success,
validation errors, etc.) — only the indicator-light contexts get
the brighter palette.
