Walkthrough

The built-in High Contrast theme, its appearance handling, and its dark preview mapping were removed. Linux no longer monitors the desktop contrast setting or stores a high-contrast state. Color-scheme monitoring remains. **Changes: High Contrast removal** |Layer / File(s)|Summary| |:---|:---| |**Remove High Contrast from appearance**
`src-tauri/src/themes.rs`, `src-tauri/themes/high-contrast.css`, `dist/settings.html`|The appearance payload and injected styles no longer include High Contrast styles or media-query handling. The High Contrast stylesheet and dark preview mapping are removed. Tests and module documentation are updated.| |**Remove Linux contrast monitoring**
`src-tauri/src/linux.rs`, `src-tauri/src/settings.rs`, `src-tauri/src/lib.rs`|Linux no longer stores or initializes the high-contrast state or starts a settings-portal contrast watcher.

Full details: Title check

**Explanation** The title "feat(appearance): remove the High Contrast theme" matches the main change. The PR deletes src-tauri/themes/high-contrast.css, removes its built-in theme entry and Settings preview, and removes the system-contrast takeover logic in themes.rs, linux.rs, lib.rs, and settings.rs. The title is specific, concise, and follows a conventional commit style.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

**Explanation** Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 2 files.

Full details: Description check

**Explanation** The description explains the problem (the built-in High Contrast theme and its prefers-contrast and Linux settings-portal contrast takeover) and the change (theme file and entry removed, three style elements without media switching, Linux contrast watcher and linux_high_contrast state removed). It also notes there is no settings migration and what a saved high-contrast id resolves to. However, it does not contain the required 'AI models used' section from the repository template, which is required for contributors other than the repository owner. The 'Reasoning levels' section is optional. The template's Summary heading is also present in spirit but the description does not use the exact '## Summary' heading. **Resolution** Add the required '## Summary' heading above the problem and change description. Add the '## AI models used' section and state either the AI model names and versions used to create or edit code, tests, or PR text, or 'None'. Optionally add the '## Reasoning levels' section if AI was used.
