Adds 11 CSS-only seasonal overlays (Halloween, Christmas, New Year, Autumn,
April Fool's, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day,
Deep Space, Retro Arcade) with date-based auto-detection and a manual override
dropdown in Settings → Appearance → Seasonal Theme. All themes respect
prefers-reduced-motion. SeasonalEffect mounts at z-index 9997 in App.tsx.
Also rewrites all 5 animated chat background keyframes for smoother, more
organic motion: Digital Rain gains a phosphor glow flicker; Star Drift now
loops each layer by exactly its own tile size (no more seam); Grid Pulse adds
an independent brightness oscillation at a prime period; Aurora Flow drives
all four gradient layers through distinct paths; Fireflies adds glow-pulse and
opacity-blink animations at prime periods for unsynchronised bioluminescence.

incorrect claim that screenshare auto-reverts view to grid (removed)
Fix: auto-revert spotlight on screenshare was removed (600ms grid-click

removed from README.md.
