feat(chat-bg): redesign 19 chat backgrounds as modular per-pattern files

Same treatment as the seasonal themes: split the 502-line chatBackground.ts
Record into one premium module per background under lotus/backgrounds/ (each
exposes a tuned dark + light ChatBgVariants), one Opus agent per background
against a shared brief. chatBackground.ts now assembles DARK/LIGHT from the
modules; getChatBg is unchanged. Carbon + Aurora are kept inline as-is (user
favorites); none stays the empty layer.

Every redesign: layered oklch palettes, seamless tiling with worked-out tile
math (integer-multiple periods; edge-wrapping inline-SVG data-URIs for
circuit/hexgrid/waves/herringbone/chevron/tactical), independently-tuned
dark+light (not a recolor), and low "felt-not-read" opacity so chat text stays
WCAG-AA legible. The 5 animated backgrounds (rain, star drift, grid pulse,
aurora flow, fireflies) each colocate a vanilla-extract keyframe .css.ts,
animate only background-position for a jump-free loop, and — since getChatBg
strips animation for reduced-motion — render a finished static frame too.

Redesigned: blueprint, stars, topographic, herringbone, crosshatch, chevron,
polka, triangles, plaid, tactical, circuit, hexgrid, waves, neon, anim-rain,
anim-stars, anim-pulse, anim-aurora, anim-fireflies.

Gates: tsc clean, ESLint clean, Prettier clean, build OK, 551 tests pass.

// hexgrid — a refined sci-fi HUD honeycomb lattice.
//
// The motif is a crisp pointy-top hexagon honeycomb, drawn as thin interlocking
// outlines like the readout of a sci-fi interface. It is layered over a soft
// depth sheen: a faint central glow lifts the middle of the field and a gentle
// vignette settles the corners, so the lattice reads as a lit HUD surface with
// dimension rather than a flat repeating tile. Everything is kept at low alpha
// (hex lines ~0.140.16, washes well under legibility thresholds) so the motif
// is *felt, not read* — crisp message text stays comfortably WCAG-AA in both
// themes.
//
// SEAMLESS TILING
// The hex outlines live in a single inline-SVG data-URI tile of exactly
// √3·s × 3·s = 34.641 × 60 (side length s = 20). That is the natural repeat cell
// of a pointy-top honeycomb: one full central hexagon plus the six neighbours
// whose bodies straddle the tile edges. Because each straddling hexagon is drawn
// in full, the half that spills past one edge is completed pixel-for-pixel by the
// matching half re-entering from the opposite edge on the next repeat — the six
// vertical side edges land exactly on x = 0 and x = 34.641, the slanted edges
// meet across y = 0 / y = 60, so the lattice interlocks with no seam and no
// moiré. `backgroundSize: 34.641px 60px` locks the tile to that period; the glow
// and vignette are single non-repeating layers sized to 100%.
//
// DARK vs LIGHT
// Dark: cool cyan hex lines (oklch 0.72 0.1 200) on a deep blue-black base, with
// a soft cyan-tinted central glow — the classic "cold HUD" look.
// Light: soft slate-blue hexes (oklch 0.55 0.07 250) on a pale cool-white sheet,
// with a bright paper highlight at centre. Each alpha/lightness is tuned
// independently so both feel equally quiet against their own base.
// One seamless honeycomb tile (√3·20 × 3·20). Colour is injected per-theme.
