jared 02b2ce8109 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.

// stars — a deep-space starfield with subtle depth.
//
// Concept: three parallax layers of stars at different tile sizes and offsets
// (so the repeat never lines up and reads as a genuine random field), lifted
// onto a faint deep-blue->violet nebula wash for depth, and finished with a
// gentle center vignette that keeps the reading column the calmest area of the
// canvas. Every layer is a stacked radial-gradient — pure CSS, no assets.
//
// Layer stacking order (topmost first, as CSS paints image #1 on top):
// 1. bright near stars (crisp, sparse, largest tile)
// 2. mid stars (dimmer, medium tile)
// 3. faint blue far stars (haze, smallest tile — most repeats, least visible)
// 4. calming center vignette
// 5. nebula wash (deep blue -> violet)
// The three star tiles use coprime-ish sizes (137/191/233 dark) so their least
// common repeat is enormous and no seam is perceivable.
