Changes since last release

Prevent VM bundle provisioning in Linux native Cowork (#150)

• fix_cowork_download_status_linux.nim now blocks VM provisioning in Linux native mode (#150). The existing patch made getDownloadStatus() report Ready, which hid the false setup banner, but the renderer still called the public download() entry point and setYukonSilverConfig() independently started a stale/missing bundle refresh whenever autoDownloadInBackground was enabled. These paths downloaded and unpacked about 9 GB of rootfs.vhdx, vmlinuz, and initrd even though claude-cowork-service runs the CLI directly on the host. The patch now returns success from download() and preserves the Yukon Silver config update before returning, both only when process.platform==="linux"&&!globalThis.__coworkKvmMode. Linux KVM, Windows, and macOS keep the original provisioning paths. (The native daemon never downloads a VM bundle; it only consumes one in KVM mode from ~/.config/Claude/vm_bundles, so the KVM-keeps-download gate is load-bearing.)
• Added a fixture regression test covering fresh and partial patch states, idempotency, preservation of the non-native fallback expressions, and JavaScript syntax.
• Thanks to @Adiker for the patch (#151).

Custom themes: raw customCss field for selector-level styling (#149)

• add_feature_custom_themes.nim: themes can now carry a customCss field. Previously a theme object only accepted CSS-variable keys (--*) plus chatFont, then a fixed block of element overrides was appended. The main chat UI is Tailwind CSS v4, whose @layer utilities (.bg-bg-100, .border-border-300, …) win the cascade over a :root variable override - so variable overrides re-theme text and accents but leave utility-painted surfaces (sidebar, some backgrounds, borders) at their defaults, and authors had no way to fix that without editing the patch and rebuilding. customCss accepts a raw CSS string or an array of strings (joined with newlines), at the top level (applies to the active theme) and/or inside a theme object (applies only for that theme). Both are injected after the variable declarations and built-in overrides so author rules win the cascade; per-theme is appended after global. The field is optional and fully backward-compatible - configs without it behave exactly as before. Startup logs [CustomThemes] customCss appended (N chars) when present. themes/README.md documents the verified technique for beating Tailwind v4 utilities, found by inspecting the live DOM: double the stable token class to out-specify the utility (nav.bg-bg-100.bg-bg-100{…}) rather than chasing minified hashes, and clear gradient background-image (e.g. the sidebar fill is a bg-gradient-to-t, so background-color alone is invisible until background-image:none is set).
