skel: bring the config tree back onto the Akari palette Several surfaces were still carrying a pre-Akari palette that the pivot left behind. The comments named the right tokens; the values were from the previous one. swaylock had the whole ramp wrong, which is the screen a user sees on every wake, and imv, satty, yazi and zathura each carried part of it. Corrected against docs/TOKENS.md, with border-subtle taken from tools/wcag_audit.py rather than computed by hand so it agrees with what alloy_tui derives at runtime. Eleven of these were invisible to a search for hex: the GTK and swayosd shadow colors spell the stale content.primary as rgba(48, 44, 34), and os-release spells it as an ANSI triplet. The GTK accent moves off status.warning. TOKENS.md measures that amber at 2.80-3.18:1 and states it is expressed as glyph and edge marker only, but it was set as accent_bg_color with white text, so selected rows and suggested-action buttons rendered below the AA-text threshold. action.primary is the token meant for this and clears it at 7.06:1.
