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.

// crosshatch — fine pen-and-ink engraving, like a banknote guilloché.
// Three hatch directions (right-leaning, left-leaning, near-horizontal cross)
// are layered at low opacity so the eye reads a woven ink texture rather than
// discrete stripes. Each direction uses a slightly different pitch so the
// combined pattern never lines up into a coarse moire, and a barely-there
// diagonal tonal gradient lends etched depth.
//
// Seamless tiling: each hatch is a `repeating-linear-gradient`, which repeats
// infinitely by definition, so the layers are left at `backgroundSize: auto`
// and tile with no visible seam at any element size (constraining a diagonal
// repeat to a small square would clip it mid-period and create a seam). The
// tonal wash is a single non-repeating gradient stretched to `cover`.
//
// Opacities are kept in the 0.020.05 range so the texture is felt, not read —
// crisp message text sits comfortably above it in both themes (WCAG-AA safe).
