DannyDannyDanny b311e21d5b feat(macos): Alacritty follows system light/dark appearance
New setup — due for review after you run darwin-rebuild switch and
live with it for a few days. See CLAUDE.md (Alacritty) and
assets/alacritty/README.md.

- HM: import active-colors.toml + Catppuccin latte/mocha fragments
- nix-darwin: launchd.user.agents.alacritty-system-theme + PATH helper
- fish: background sync on Darwin; theme.sh no longer rebuilds for Alacritty
- Remove switch-alacritty-theme.sh (sed + darwin-rebuild per toggle)

# Keep Alacritty in sync with macOS light/dark appearance.
# No Nix rebuild: copies a palette into active-colors.toml; Alacritty reloads via live_config_reload.
