Gabriel Brown e1a04d2d70 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.

-- This is what makes the desktop one product rather than two that happen to
-- agree. The relationship is:
--
-- * the Lua config is the DEFAULT -- every prefs.get() call passes the shipped
-- value as its fallback, so this config still works standalone with no JSON
-- file at all;
-- * the JSON file is the TRUTH -- both Hyprland and Quickshell read it;
-- * Panama Settings is the EDITOR -- it writes the file and applies the change
-- live through `hyprctl eval`, so nothing needs a reload and the two sides
-- cannot drift apart.
--
-- Nothing here may raise. A missing, empty, truncated, or actively malformed
-- file must cost the user nothing worse than their customizations; it must
-- never cost them a working compositor. Every failure path returns the caller's
-- fallback.
