Subject: [PATCH] feat: high-contrast theme
Add AAA-compliant high-contrast theme variant via next-themes.
- Extract high-contrast CSS into app/styles/themes/high-contrast.css
- Pure black/white palette with 21:1 contrast ratio
- White borders, enhanced focus indicators, underlined links
- Visible scrollbars, print-friendly, respects reduced-motion
- 8 tests covering provider integration and theme isolation
- Imported in app/layout.tsx, registered in ThemeProvider
Closes #458
