skel: repair the configs that were being discarded at runtime Three apps were running on stock defaults because their config named something the package no longer accepts. None of them says so; each fails the whole file and carries on. rio: `backend = "Automatic"` is a variant rio 0.4.11 dropped. An unknown enum is a TOML parse error, not a warning about one key, so rio discarded the entire file and ran stock. That is why the terminal shipped with none of the Akari palette and none of the font settings. Omitting the key is what "Automatic" was asking for anyway; rio's own --write-config output carries no [renderer] section at all. The schema in schemas/ documented the same dead default and is corrected. yazi: the theme schema moved and yazi 26 drops unknown keys in silence, so the old spellings parsed clean and painted nothing. [manager] is [mgr], rules match on `url` rather than `name`, hovered became an [indicator] section, tabs and mode became their own sections, permissions_* became perm_*, [select] is [pick], [completion] is [cmp], and [help] exec is run. Migrated against yazi's own embedded preset theme rather than guesswork. The preset's `reversed = true` for the hovered row inverts whatever filetype color the row carries, which turned it into a dark navy block against this palette, so the pair is named explicitly. gammastep: every key was padded with spaces to align the values, and its INI parser does not trim the key, so each line was read as a setting named "temp-day " and reported unknown. Cosmetic alignment disabled the whole file and the screen never warmed at night. rio also moves to the single-cell Nerd Font family; see the fontconfig change for why.
