🤖 Consolidate theme variables to Tailwind native colors

Reduced custom CSS variables from 146 to 31 (79% reduction) by migrating to
Tailwind's native color system.

## Changes

### Removed (115 variables)
- 50+ gray variants → Tailwind gray-100 through gray-950
- 7 accent blue variants → Tailwind sky-{400,500,600,700,800}
- 40+ unused colors (toasts, overlays, review backgrounds)

### Kept (31 semantic variables)
- Mode colors: plan, exec, edit, editing, thinking, debug (17 vars)
- Status: interrupted, review-accent, git-dirty, pending (4 vars)
- Special: code-bg, user-border, assistant-border (3 vars)
- Tokens: input, output, cached (3 vars)
- Errors: error, error-bg, error-bg-dark (3 vars)
- Alpha: plan-mode-alpha, editing-mode-alpha (2 vars)

### Files Updated
- globals.css: -114 lines (replaced var() with @apply and theme())
- 60 component files: replaced custom classes with Tailwind equivalents
  - text-muted → text-gray-500
  - text-foreground → text-gray-200
  - bg-dark → bg-gray-950
  - border-border → border-gray-800
  - text-accent → text-sky-600

## Benefits
- Simplified color system using standard Tailwind scale
- Better developer experience with documented color classes
- Easier theming via Tailwind's built-in system
- Reduced maintenance burden (79% fewer variables)
