Write the eight accents down once

They were written down five times: ThemeProfileModel.js for QML,
looks.lua for the compositor, and again in panama-theme-apps and
panama-lock. The GNOME accent-name mapping was a sixth list. Adding a
ninth accent meant editing all of them, and the file most likely to be
missed was the lock screen, which fails silently -- the machine locks
in last season's colour and nothing says why. panama-theme-apps
admitted it in a comment: "there is no shared source between QML and a
shell script".

config/palette.json is that source now. looks.lua reads it through a
new prefs.readJson, which uses the same never-raise parser the settings
store uses, so an unreadable palette costs the accent colours and never
the compositor config. The two shell generators read it through
scripts/panama-palette, which also carries the hex-to-rgb conversion
hyprlock needs and the GNOME member lookup.

QML keeps its table, because a .js module imported into QML cannot read
a file. That is still a copy, so the palette contract compares the two
value by value -- every accent, every field -- and fails on any
disagreement. Verified by planting a wrong hex and watching it name the
exact field.

The adwaita contract used to check the shell's own copy of the GNOME
mapping. It now checks that the shell resolves through the palette, and
fails if that copy ever grows back.

# The eight accents, and the one place they are written down.
#
# They used to be written down five times: ThemeProfileModel.js for QML,
# hypr/looks.lua for the compositor, and again in panama-theme-apps and
# panama-lock. panama-theme-apps said so in its own comment -- "there is no
# shared source between QML and a shell script" -- which is an accurate
# description of a bug waiting to happen. Adding a ninth accent meant editing
# five files, and the one most likely to be missed was the lock screen, which
# fails silently: the machine locks in a stale colour and nothing says why.
#
# config/palette.json is now that source. Everything outside QML reads it:
# looks.lua through prefs.readJson, the two shell generators through
# scripts/panama-palette.
#
# QML still carries the table, because a .js module imported into QML cannot
# read a file. That is a copy, and copies drift, so this contract exists to
# make the drift a failing test instead of a wrong lock screen. It compares
# them value by value rather than checking that both merely exist.
