Add a dark mode toggle to the session viewer page. When viewing a shared session at /s/[id], there should be a small theme button in the nav bar that cycles between light, dark, and
system. Save preference to localStorage. The dark theme should use a dark gray background (#1a1a1a) with light text, keeping the same overall layout.

Now update the viewer.tsx — add theme state, effect, toggle button, and logo swap:

Now I also need to fix the hardcoded colors in the tool result section that don't use CSS variables — they won't adapt to dark mode:

Everything looks good. Let me verify the build compiles:

The errors are all pre-existing in `auth.ts` (unrelated to my changes). Let me check specifically for errors in the files I modified:

npx tsc --noEmit --pretty 2>&1 | grep -E "viewer\.tsx|globals\.css" || echo "No errors in modified files"
CClaude01:29:40 PM
No errors in the modified files. Here's a summary of the changes:
**`packages/web/src/app/globals.css`** — Added `[data-theme="dark"]` CSS variable block with:
- Dark gray background (`#1a1a1a`) with lighter card/secondary backgrounds
- Light text colors (`#e5e5e5`, `#a0a0a0`, `#6a6a6a`)
- Adjusted borders, green/red status colors for dark backgrounds
**`packages/web/src/app/s/[id]/viewer.tsx`** — Added:
- Theme state (`light` / `dark` / `system`) with localStorage persistence
- `useEffect` to apply `data-theme` attribute on `<html>` and listen for system preference changes
- Theme toggle button in the navbar (cycles light → dark → system)
- Logo swap: uses `logo-light.svg` in dark mode, `logo.svg` in light mode
- Fixed hardcoded tool result text colors (`#8b2020`/`#2d5a2d`) to use CSS variables so they adapt to dark mode

CClaude01:31:32 PM
Opened the preview in your browser. It includes:
- **Nav bar** with the theme toggle button (cycles Light -> Dark -> System)
- **Header** with agent badge, title, metadata
- **Stats bar** with mock numbers
- **Search & controls** row
- **Mock entries**: user message, collapsed thinking, assistant message, tool calls (Read/Edit success + Bash error), and a follow-up exchange
- **Footer**
Click the **"Light"** button in the top-right to cycle through the themes and see the dark mode in action. The preference is saved to localStorage so it persists on refresh.
