## Themes
The TUI cockpit picks its theme from the `SPARROW_THEME` environment variable.
Built-in names (case-insensitive):
| `captain` | Default warm amber on near-black |
| `midnight` | Cool blues for late-night work |
| `paper` | Cream paper background, dark fg, for bright environments |
Unknown names fall back to `captain`. Themes are listed by
`sparrow::tui::theme::THEME_NAMES`.
