Add the dashboard settings channel, wired for theme and lock

A dashboard could only ever receive as a set of tiles. This adds the dashboard
itself as a receiver: `settings` maps a name to a value plus an optional
binding. Unbound, the setting is simply its value — a wall panel that is always
dark costs no flow. Bound, a flow drives it live and the value is the fallback.

Two settings are wired: `theme` (system/light/dark) and `locked` (read-only).
There is no schedule field on purpose — a node publishing to the bound message
on a cron is what a schedule is here, which is the point of a channel.

- `messages_for()` now walks a dashboard's bound settings as well as its
  widgets' bindings. Without this a paired screen is refused its own theme
  message, on the one surface the setting exists for; it bounds the socket too.
- `locked` is gated in `usePublish`, so every control inherits it, and each
  control also draws itself disabled — a dead button reads as broken otherwise.
  The panel surface says Read-only in the corner.
- The theme is a class on the dashboard's own surface, never the root: inside
  the app shell it must not flip the chrome. `.light` gains the tokens `.dark`
  already had (mirrored in the index repo) so both directions work on a subtree.
- Settings bindings are type-checked from the document alone, the rule widget
  bindings follow, and mirrored on the server.
- A bound setting is drawn on the flow canvas as a dashboard-level endpoint.
- The demo's house flow now publishes `home.panel_theme`, which the demo
  dashboard's theme binds to: the panel goes dark after sunset, at no tile cost.
