Closes #885

Problem

In dark mode, --header-border was #9b9b9b — a fairly light grey against the near-black background rgb(20, 21, 26). This produced high-contrast, visually busy divider lines inconsistent with the subtle, low-contrast borders in light mode (#e8ecf1 against white).

Fix

Changed --header-border in [data-theme=dark] from #9b9b9b to #3a3a42. This is a dark grey that remains distinguishable from the background while matching the visual subtlety of the light-mode borders.

Contrast comparison:

  • Light mode: #e8ecf1 on white — very subtle
  • Dark mode before: #9b9b9b on #14151a — high contrast (~6:1)
  • Dark mode after: #3a3a42 on #14151a — subtle (~1.8:1), consistent with light mode feel

Test Status

This is a CSS-only change with no F# code impact. No build or test failures expected. Visual verification needed by a maintainer with dark mode enabled.

The --header-border variable in dark mode was #9b9b9b (fairly light grey)
against a near-black background rgb(20,21,26), creating high contrast
dividers inconsistent with the subtle borders in light mode.

Change to #3a3a42 to match the low-contrast feel of the light-mode borders.
