klopez4212 a5dfdd6d55 Align mobile appearance and channels with desktop (#8358)
Aligns mobile with desktop's neutral palette and six chat colors.
Appearance now offers Light, Dark, and System instead of themes, while
preserving community preferences and the single Home and Chat preview
pair.

Chat colors survive local preference reloads without historical-index
remapping, and the Chat preview shows the draft outgoing bubble color.

Channel and section icons are removed, section chevrons sit beside
names, and section dividers use 7% opacity. DM avatars remain.

Validation: `just mobile-check`, 35 focused tests, and the full mobile
suite passed (3,351 tests; 4 skipped). Updated light/dark previews were
rendered and visually checked. The earlier release was verified on
iPhone; this follow-up has not been reinstalled. The earlier
repository-wide lint passed, but full `just ci` was stopped for low disk
space. Hosted CI is running for the new head.

**Intentional design parity:** Section labels and chevrons retain
desktop’s `--text-unavailable` colors: light `#959595`, dark `#595959`.
Verified against `block/buzz-app` main at
`0201b54c496120a44e020834663dc534cae9a79f`. These colors do not meet
4.5:1 text contrast on the mobile section surfaces; the product decision
for this PR is to preserve desktop parity and leave them unchanged.
Kenneth explicitly accepts this known contrast tradeoff for this
PR/release and requests that reviewers treat it as a scoped product
exception rather than a blocker. This does not claim WCAG compliance or
change the repository-wide accessibility target. Any future contrast
adjustment should be coordinated across desktop and mobile.
