Start container claude in the auto theme - #404
Merged

Conversation
claude has no `--theme` flag and defaults to a fixed dark palette, so a task pane attached from a light terminal is hard to read. Seed `theme: auto` — which follows the terminal's background — into the settings file the launcher already renders, plus claude's legacy global config for builds that resolve it from there (the two values agree, so precedence doesn't matter). Seeded, not enforced: the config dir is a per-task volume that outlives a respawn, so a deliberate `/theme` inside the container survives the next launch, while the hooks and permission pre-accepts are still re-applied every time.
