web: make the night phase's text colours survive a dark card

Browse Source 
The adventure purple was unreadable on night, and measuring the family showed
it was not alone: every one of the eleven .text-theme-* colours lands between
1.08:1 (eu, effectively invisible) and 3.12:1 (finance) on night's #2d365a.
They were all picked against a light card and never checked against a dark
one. Same hue, lifted lightness, saturation floored so the dull ones stay a
colour instead of going grey — all now >=5.5:1.

Night only. Dusk and dawn are lit cards despite their names, so they keep
today's values exactly and the light phases are pixel-identical. Lego can't
stay pillar-box red and be legible on navy; a red light enough to pass reads
as salmon, which is the honest trade against a red nobody can see.

Also adds --warn as a phase variable for the new "inert" chip, for the same
reason --ink is one. Tailwind's dark: variant cannot do this job: darkMode is
unconfigured, so dark: follows the OS's prefers-color-scheme, which knows
nothing about which phase Pete is showing. That mismatch left the chip at
2.34:1 on a dark phase under a light OS, and 1.55:1 on a light phase under a
dark OS — half the combinations unreadable, decided by a setting outside the
page. Now 4.52-7.04 across all four phases, OS irrelevant.

Still open, and NOT fixed here: text-[color:var(--ink)]/NN appears not to
compile — there is no such rule in output.css, and the item description
computes to a fixed rgb(74,46,42) that ignores the phase entirely. If that
holds it is a pre-existing site-wide no-op, not confined to these panels.
Recorded rather than guessed at.

/* --warn is the "you should look at this" amber, and it is a phase variable for
the same reason --ink is: the phase decides how dark the card underneath is.
Tailwind's dark: variant cannot do this job here — darkMode is unconfigured,
so dark: follows the OS's prefers-color-scheme, which has nothing to do with
which phase Pete is showing. A dark phase under a light OS renders amber-700
on the night card at 2.34:1, and a light phase under a dark OS renders
amber-400 on cream at 1.55:1 — half of the four combinations unreadable, and
which half depends on a setting outside the page. Only night has a dark card;
dusk and dawn are lit despite their names. */

/* Night repaint. The colours above are all tuned to sit on a light card, and
nobody checked them against a dark one when the phases were built: on
night's #2d365a every single one lands between 1.08:1 (eu) and 3.12:1
(finance), i.e. the whole family is below AA and eu is very nearly
