feat(FN-1535): fix theme-data.css URL resolution for file:// contexts

- Fix CSS URL resolution in memory when loading with file:// protocol
- Add DASHBOARD_URL re-export from renderer module for backward compatibility
- Update main.test.ts to use correct renderer mock reference (rendererMocks vs mocks)
- Document the URL resolution bug fix in memory

 - There are **54 unique color themes** in `packages/dashboard/app/public/theme-data.css` (default, ocean, forest, sunset, zen, berry, high-contrast, industrial, monochrome, slate, ash, graphite, silver, solarized, factory, ayu, one-dark, nord, dracula, gruvbox, tokyo-night, catppuccin-mocha, github-dark, everforest, rose-pine, kanagawa, night-owl, palenight, monokai-pro, slime, brutalist, neon-city, parchment, terminal, glass, horizon, vitesse, outrun, snazzy, porple, espresso, mars, poimandres, ember, rust, copper, foundry, carbon, sandstone, lagoon, frost, lavender, neon-bloom, sepia). Each has a dark variant `[data-color-theme="<name>"]` and a light variant `[data-color-theme="<name>"][data-theme="light"]`. Theme blocks were extracted to a separate file in FN-1409 to enable lazy loading — theme-data.css is only loaded when a non-default color theme is active.
 - When adding CSS custom properties that should be theme-aware (like `--accent`, `--status-*-bg`), add them to all 54 theme blocks plus `:root` and `[data-theme="light"]` base blocks. The test in `status-colors-theme.test.ts` iterates all blocks programmatically to prevent regressions.
 - **Semantic tokens** (tokens describing purpose, not appearance) that maintain consistent meaning across all color themes (e.g., "autopilot active" is always green-tinted, "event error" is always red-tinted) only need dark/light adaptation via the base `[data-theme="light"]` block. They do NOT need per-color-theme overrides because the semantic meaning is consistent. Examples from FN-1357: `--autopilot-pulse`, `--event-*-text`, `--event-*-bg`, `--terminal-bg`, `--star-idle`, `--star-active`, `--badge-mission-*`, `--fab-*`.
-- **Runtime-safe theme loading (FN-1526)**: The `theme-data.css` stylesheet URL is derived from `document.baseURI` rather than hardcoded paths. This ensures correct resolution in both HTTP/HTTPS contexts (uses `/theme-data.css`) and Electron `file://` contexts (derives path relative to HTML file directory). The same `getThemeDataUrl()` helper is used by both the pre-hydration inline script in `index.html` and the runtime `useTheme.ts` hook.

The same `getThemeDataUrl()` helper is used by both the pre-hydration inline script in `index.html` and the runtime `useTheme.ts` hook. **Bug fix (FN-1535)**: The initial implementation had a path joining bug where `new URL("theme-data.css", baseUrl)` was used incorrectly, producing malformed paths like `.../apptheme-data.css` instead of `.../app/theme-data.css`. The fix uses `url.resolve()` or explicit path joining with proper slash handling to ensure the URL always contains the correct slash separator between directory and filename.
