Reworks the console's look away from generic dark-mode defaults: the neutral ramp carries a faint violet cast, and the signal palette now distinguishes connection topology by colour — mint for live agents, iris for direct connections, copper for consent-required machines. Type contrast comes from pairing the platform mono against the platform sans rather than a webfont, since the box this runs on has no internet. particles.js draws a proximity-linked node field: full strength on the login and public pages, frozen static in the console, and entirely absent from the viewer, where every frame belongs to the remote desktop. It caps DPR at 2, scales node count to viewport area, throttles to 30fps, cancels rAF when the tab is hidden, and honours prefers-reduced-motion. app.js and viewer.js are unchanged; the particle layer mounts itself and tracks the console via MutationObserver on #app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
