Greptile Summary

Replaced warm greenish color palette in light theme with neutral grays to minimize green tint. Updated 48 CSS variables in globals.css including backgrounds (--bg, --surface-*), borders (--border, --border-*), and terminal status colors. Component files updated to adapt to new color scheme, with many adding explicit dark: variants for consistency.

Notable changes:

• Changed light theme from warm tones (#f9faf8, #d7dcda) to neutral grays (#fdfdfd, #e0e0e0)
• Updated surface layers to use lighter backgrounds in light mode (surface-3 instead of surface-4/5)
• Added bg-white and dark:bg-[var(--bg)] to main content areas across knowledge, templates, and logs pages
• Fixed layout padding in knowledge, logs, and templates to use dynamic --sidebar-width variable instead of hardcoded pl-60
• Changed workflow edge handles from --surface-7 to --workflow-edge variable for consistency

Custom instruction concern:
This PR edits globals.css extensively, which violates custom instruction that states "Avoid editing the globals.css file unless absolutely necessary. Move style changes to local component files instead." However, changing the base color palette requires globals.css modifications, so this appears justified.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk - primarily visual changes to color palette
• Score reflects that these are well-structured visual changes with proper dark mode variants. The changes are systematic and consistent across files. Main concern is the extensive globals.css modification which technically violates a custom instruction, but is justified for a base color palette change. No logical bugs or breaking changes detected.
• No files require special attention - all changes follow consistent patterns
