refactor(theme): source the base colour tokens from Primer - #3148
Merged
Conversation
Replace the Tailwind palette literals behind the scrollbar and counter tokens with Primer design tokens, resolving the long-standing TODO. Primer tokens resolve per colour scheme on the wrapper, so these now follow the accessibility and high-contrast palettes (the literals stayed frozen), and the `light-dark()` pairs become unnecessary except for the two tokens with an intentional light/dark asymmetry. Counter pills move to the accent-muted / neutral-muted fills GitHub itself uses; Glass is unaffected, it overrides pill fills with its own tokens.
