Gallery loads the assembled theme config (not just base + plugins)

The static gallery (the visual-regression harness from WORK-409) transforms pages with merged.config — i.e. coreConfig plus the enabled plugins' configs — but never calls assembleThemeConfig. The site assembles core → plugins → theme so theme-level overrides reach the engine; the gallery does not, so it can only ever render base output.

This is a latent gap in the regression net: any override a theme applies via mergeThemeConfig (tints, icon swaps, and — after WORK-425 — per-rune defaultElevation/defaultProminence deltas) is invisible in the gallery. The gallery shows what a plugin ships, not what a theme actually renders.

Not a blocker for WORK-425. Under the agreed Option A, base surface defaults live in core + plugin configs, which the gallery already loads, so default data-elevation/data-prominence emission is gallery-verifiable today. This item only matters once a theme overrides those defaults (Lumina currently inherits the base defaults unchanged).

Acceptance Criteria

  • Gallery resolves the active theme config the same way the site does (via assembleThemeConfig), not baseConfig + plugins alone
  • A theme-level override (e.g. a defaultElevation change or a tint preset) is reflected in the gallery's transformed output
  • Falls back cleanly to base + plugins when no theme is configured
  • Existing gallery snapshots regenerated / verified unchanged where Lumina inherits base defaults

Approach

Locate where the gallery builds its transform config (cli) and route it through assembleThemeConfig with the resolved theme, mirroring the site's assembly order (core → plugins → theme → extensions). Confirm the theme is discoverable from the project context the gallery already loads.
