opencode: brighten default text colors

[Azd325]

Use base06 for text, markdown, and punctuation slots so the OpenCode target matches upstream Catppuccin palettes and provides better contrast across dark Stylix themes.

When I implemented it, I was using a few themes as guidelines.
I guess using a brighter foreground color makes sense.
I am not sure if we should check if other themes will also "behave" better.

Since I do not really use AI tools, I might be wrong on this, but if the
provided screenshots show the AI's intermediate "reasoning", would it not make sense to make it visually less prominent than the final real output? What is upstream's default behavior here?

Why should these be different from markdownCodeBlock.dark:

stylix/modules/opencode/hm.nix

Lines 106 to 109 in 844294a

	markdownCodeBlock = {
	dark = colors.withHashtag.base04;
	light = colors.withHashtag.base00;
	};

I am not sure if we should check if other themes will also "behave" better.

Usually checking the dark and light themes is fine.

On a side note, the pending PR #1857 introduces

stylix/stylix/testbed/themes/empty.nix

Line 17 in 3c286df

base16Scheme = "${pkgs.base16-schemes}/share/themes/mellow-purple.yaml";

to make it hopefully visually very obvious when something is unthemed or not adaptive enough.

I also adjusted the PR a bit more.

Usually checking the dark and light themes is fine.

I tested with solarized light and dark, and the change is not too big. On the other hand, with Catppuccin Mocha, it is a bigger change.

base16Scheme = "${pkgs.base16-schemes}/share/themes/mellow-purple.yaml";
to make it hopefully visually very obvious when something is unthemed or not adaptive enough.

Thanks for this recommendation. That makes the before-and-after effect more obvious

Based on your screenshots, this makes the text indeed stand more out. However, does this align with the upstream behavior:

Since I do not really use AI tools, I might be wrong on this, but if the provided screenshots show the AI's intermediate "reasoning", would it not make sense to make it visually less prominent than the final real output? What is upstream's default behavior here?

I see that is in this case not reasoning/thinking; that is an actual response.

I activated the thinking for the session and took before/after screenshots. So there are now extra blocks in the screenshot.
I also attached the default theme from OpenCode. (dark one)

Thanks for the clarification and screenshots. Seems like upstream distinguishes between "reasoning" and status reports.

I am fine with merging this if @arunoruto approves.

I tried the changes out today and it looked alright to me!
