Danny White d067e81a69 fix(ui): align primary colours across text, buttons, and controls (#50697)
## Problem

Primary colour serves readable text and selected controls, but those
uses need different shades. Light mode needs darker text, while dark
mode needs a deeper button fill. Fixed brand green on interactive chrome
also prevents a custom primary hue from carrying through the interface.
Some slider tracks and selected text are hard to read.

## Solution

- Keep `--primary` for accessible text and small selected indicators.
Use `--primary-solid` for button fills, which need a deeper shade in
dark mode.
- Add `--primary-bright` for focus rings, selected control chrome, chart
accents, and other interactive highlights. It follows `--primary-hue`;
`brand-*` stays fixed for Supabase identity.
- Make slider troughs clearer and text selection translucent with theme
foreground text.
- Document the split in the design-system colour guide.

## Review instructions

1. Compare light and dark mode in the [colour usage
guide](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/color-usage#primary-and-brand-colors).
Check primary ink, primary-solid, primary-bright, and fixed brand
swatches.
2. In Studio, open the ‘new table’ sheet in [Table
Editor](https://studio-staging-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/dashboard/project/_/editor).
Tab through the new table sheet's fields and toggles. Check the focus
rings, selected controls, and the sheet's edges in both themes. You do
not need to save a table.
3. Select text in Studio in both themes, including a link or
primary-coloured label. The selection and text should remain legible.
4. Check the
[Field](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/field)
Price Range slider: the unused track should remain visible in both
themes. The selected field card border should follow primary-bright.
5. Check the
[Button](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/button)
and [Radio
Group](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/radio-group)
previews. In dark mode, `primary` button fill should be deeper than
primary
[text](https://design-system-git-dnywh-fix-bright-brand-chrome-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/color-usage#text);
selected radios should remain readable.
