fix(web): share accessible color picker controls

[juliusmarminge]

Targets main independently. This PR has no dependency on V2 or another UI audit PR.

Theme and provider accent pickers implemented separate hue and saturation/value controls; provider accents lacked the keyboard and focus behavior of the theme picker. Shared controls and color helpers now own pointer tracking, keyboard adjustment, labels, focus rings, and thumb placement. Theme alpha/OKLCH handling, frame batching, and provider debounce remain in their consumers.

Validation: colorPickers behavioral tests and color helper tests, affected client typecheck, scoped lint, and React Doctor review. React Doctor’s existing consumer findings remain documented from the original audit; no new component findings were identified.

Code-only verification was requested; no browser/device pass or before/after screenshots are included. No wire contracts, persisted data, or upgrade migrations change.

The saturation/brightness accessibility finding is fixed with two separately focusable native range inputs. Each reports and adjusts its own value, supports arrows and Home/End, and shows the focused axis name and percentage. The 2D pointer plane and consumer save behavior remain in place.

Follow-up validation: 16 focused picker/color tests, web typecheck, scoped lint, React Doctor, and a whole-PR source review. Existing ThemeColorPicker lint/Doctor warnings are unchanged. Both provider and theme settings use these controls in web and desktop; native mobile has no consumer. No browser or assistive-technology device pass was run, following the requested code-only verification.

Review status: the accessibility finding is fixed, and current-head CI, Macroscope Correctness, and UI Consistency pass. Macroscope Approvability still requires human review because the overall PR introduces shared interactive controls and changes existing interactions. This PR remains unmerged.

Model: GPT-6. Harness: Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR introduces a shared interactive color-picker component and rewires both theme and provider settings, changing pointer, keyboard, focus, and persistence interactions on existing product paths. Focused tests reduce risk, but the shared runtime scope and non-mechanical behavior changes warrant human review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds shared HSV conversion utilities and separate saturation and brightness controls. Provider and theme settings use the shared controls. Tests cover keyboard input, pointer interactions, commit timing, alpha preservation, and color conversion.

Changes

Color picker controls

Layer / File(s)	Summary
HSV conversion utilities apps/web/src/lib/color.ts, apps/web/src/lib/color.test.ts	Adds HsvColor, hexToHsv, and hsvToHex. Tests cover round trips, hue wrapping, black, and white.
Shared picker controls apps/web/src/components/ui/color-picker.tsx	Uses separate saturation and brightness range inputs with independent keyboard controls, clamping, accessibility values, and pointer focus behavior. Hue slider behavior remains unchanged.
Settings picker integration apps/web/src/components/settings/AddProviderInstanceDialog.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ProviderAccentColorPicker.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/ThemeColorPicker.tsx	Replaces custom and native picker controls with shared components. Provider commits retain debounce behavior. Theme edits retain RGB handling and alpha values.
Interaction validation apps/web/src/components/settings/colorPickers.test.tsx	Adds coverage for independent axis updates, pointer behavior, cancellation, unmount flushing, hue retention, alpha preservation, and debounce commits.

brightness are exposed through two separately focusable elements with
role="slider", independent aria-valuemin, aria-valuemax, aria-valuenow, and
accessible labels. Preserve the existing 2D plane and pointer handlers for
input, and route keyboard updates from the corresponding controls while
retaining the combined aria-valuetext where appropriate.
