/**
 * VS Code color-theme → DesktopTheme converter.
 *
 * VS Code themes carry ~hundreds of `workbench.colorCustomization` keys, but the
 * desktop theme model only needs a `DesktopThemeColors` struct — `applyTheme`
 * derives every glass/shadcn token from a small seed chain via `color-mix()`.
 * In practice ~6 workbench keys carry the whole look (background, foreground,
 * accent, elevated surface, sidebar, error); everything else we derive by mixing
 * those toward the background/foreground. That's the "naive token converter".
 *
 * A VS Code theme is single-mode (light OR dark). Rather than synthesise the
 * opposite mode, we set both `colors` and `darkColors` to the converted palette
 * so the imported theme renders faithfully no matter where the light/dark toggle
 * sits — `renderedModeFor` still picks the `.dark` class from the real
 * background luminance, so surface-bound UI matches what's on screen.
