Danny White 512201dcd0 chore(ui): remove the Classic Dark theme (#50387)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Chore.

## What is the current behaviour?

Classic Dark remains available across the shared theme library and
several apps. Studio now supports System, Dark, and Light as its theme
modes, but still carries compatibility paths for Classic Dark.

## What is the new behaviour?

- Removes Classic Dark from shared theme options, application commands,
stylesheets, previews, examples, and replay handling.
- Deletes the Classic Dark and faux Classic Dark stylesheets.
- Removes the now-unused Classic Dark branches from Studio theme colour
controls.
- Migrates `classic-dark` to `dark` so first rendered frame renders Dark
(not Light)

## To test

1. In Studio, open Account Preferences → Appearance. Confirm the
available themes are System, Dark, and Light, and that theme colour
controls still work in each resolved mode.
2. Set the `theme` local storage value to `classic-dark`, then reload
Studio. Confirm it renders as Dark immediately and the stored value
becomes `dark`.
3. Open the theme switcher in Design System, Learn, and UI Library.
Confirm Classic Dark is no longer available and Light, Dark, and System
still apply correctly.

Writing components

Where to create your components

  • For components that declare the general structure and layout of a page:
    • /components/layouts/xxx
  • For components that are tightly coupled to a specific interface:
    • /components/interfaces/xxx
  • For components that are meant to be reusable across multiple pages:
    • /components/ui/xxx
  • Note: We're gradually moving files out of the to-be-cleaned folder into the respective folders as we refactor

Component structure

  • If a component has constants and utility methods that are tightly coupled to itself, keep them close to the component and enclose them in a folder with an index.tsx as an entry point
  • Otherwise it can just be a file on its own
  • For example:
    • components/ui
      - SampleComponentA
        - SampleComponentA.tsx
        - SampleComponentA.constants.ts
        - SampleComponentA.utils.ts
        - SampleComponentA.types.ts
        - index.ts
      - SampleComponentB.tsx
      

Template for building components


// Declare the prop types of your component
interface ComponentAProps {
  sampleProp: string
}

// Name your component accordingly — use a named export, not a default export
export const ComponentA = ({ sampleProp }: ComponentAProps) => {
  return <div>ComponentA: {sampleProp}</div>
}
