Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the shared Angular theme styles and the existing UI entry point for theme controls, then inspect how browser preferences can be read through prefers-color-scheme. Done means light, dark, and system states work, manual choices persist in localStorage, and the system setting is used when system is selected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should support a three‑state theme toggle that defaults to the system setting via the prefers-color-scheme feature.

Users must also be able to override this behavior using an in‑app toggle (e.g., light, dark, or system). When a manual override is selected, the preference should be persisted in localStorage and take precedence over the system setting until changed.
