N/A — maintainer refactor.
## Description:
Replaces the theme class hierarchy
(`BaseTheme`/`PastelTheme`/`ColorblindTheme`) with theme JSON files —
`default-theme.json` and `colorblind-theme.json` — combined with
`render-settings.json` at runtime into a single graphics-configuration
pipeline (`settings.theme`). One `SettingsTheme` class keeps the
algorithms (color allocation, team-variation generation, LAB-contrast
structure colors) and reads all data from `ThemeSettings`; adding a
theme is now just adding a JSON file.
Colorblind mode (#4150) is fully preserved:
- Same palettes — the 32-color CVD-safe pool and Okabe-Ito team colors
are baked into `colorblind-theme.json`
- The relative border rule (`l × 0.6`) is expressed as a
`borderLightnessScale` knob alongside the default theme's absolute
`borderDarken`
- The mid-game re-theme wiring (`refreshPlayerColors`/`refreshPalette`)
and the affiliation/friend-foe tint overrides are unchanged;
`applyGraphicsOverrides` now also swaps the `settings.theme` slice
- `deepAssign` replaces arrays wholesale so differing palette lengths
survive theme switches
Verified against the previous implementation with an equivalence test
(since removed): default-theme colors are byte-identical including
allocation order; colorblind team/derived colors are byte-identical, and
FFA assignment may permute within the same palette (hex baking rounds
upstream's fractional-RGB colord objects, which can flip the allocator's
greedy delta-E ordering — rendered colors round identically either way).
Also removes dead theme surface (`terrainColor`, `backgroundColor`,
`falloutColor`, `font`, `textColor`, spawn-highlight variants,
`PastelThemeDark`) — GL terrain colors and dark mode were already
handled in the renderer. Note this means the colorblind terrain bands
from #4150 were dead code (nothing calls `terrainColor`; GL terrain
comes from `ColorUtils.encodeTerrainTile`); wiring CVD-safe terrain into
the terrain texture would be a follow-up.
## Please complete the following:
- [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates — N/A, no UI changes
(verified color-identical)
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file — N/A, no user-visible text
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory —
`tests/Colors.test.ts` updated for the new pipeline (team colors from
theme JSON, colorblind palette/border tests)

Resolves#2549
## Description:
Themes are purely for the client's rendering, and the server doesn't
need context on them. This PR moves `Theme.ts` from
`src/core/configuration` to `src/client/theme` and moves affiliation
colors to `render-settings.json`.
This is to support the ability to add additional themes more quickly,
such as colorblind-friendly themes. No visible changes occur from this
refactor.

PlayerView/UnitView now wrap renderer-shaped state objects (PlayerState,
PlayerStatic, UnitState) directly instead of holding engine wire types.
GameView owns a long-lived FrameData object kept in sync each tick:
players/units/tiles/trail/railroad are mutated in place; derived buffers
(playerStatus, relationMatrix, allianceClusters, nukeTelegraphs,
attackRings) and events are recomputed in a final populateFrame() pass.
The renderer reads gameView.frameData() and the same byte-identical
state objects PlayerView/UnitView wrap. WebGLFrameBuilder shrinks from
~270 to ~70 LOC: palette management + a single uploadFrameData() call,
no per-frame UnitState allocation on the hot path.
Wiring: maxPlayers=1024 on RendererConfig (pre-sizes NamePass/palette/
relation matrix textures); NamePass disabled so HTML NameLayer remains
the only on-screen player names.
Also: 39 new tests covering PlayerView/GameView/FrameData behavior;
replace .data field access in three layer call sites with accessor
methods (betrayals(), type(), getTraitorRemainingTicks()).
