Records the D-69 lesson surfaced live: a named theme's palette is a user
contract — ship an -hc sibling for a11y rather than retuning the artist's
colours. Includes the baseline-vs-extended split and the Catppuccin Latte
case where even the baseline chrome pairs are too soft.

Replaces the single-file theme-ui skill with a routed ui-design skill
backed by four references:
- theme.md — token system, identity rule, palette layers, type
- surface.md — token selection per surface (chrome, panels, tabs,
buttons, status, overlays)
- geometry.md — control spacing/alignment principles distilled from
the MultitabPane work: uniform inner spacing rule,
no double-edge padding, two-column control pattern,
perceived mass over measured pixels
- icons.md — Phosphor icons + clide-owned painters
SKILL.md routes to the right reference and holds the universal rules.
The trigger description widens to cover spacing/alignment questions
in addition to token selection.
geometry.md references T-86 (codify spacing constants); the doc uses
literal pixel values until those constants land.
