Research direction
Investigate how the app theme is persisted. Look at the theme state management (likely in a Redux slice or context) and check if the selected theme is saved to localStorage or electron store on change and restored on app startup. Focus on files like 'src/webapp/themePlugin.ts' or similar, and examine the app initialization code for theme loading. Also check if there is a bug in the default theme logic or in the save/load mechanism. Consider testing on desktop vs web as the behavior may differ.
