What's Wrong?
When typing in the input box and submitting, text renders as white
against a black background, making it unreadable in light/parchment
themes.
What Should Happen?
Expected: text remains readable after submit
Actual: text appears white on black background
Text and UI elements should render with sufficient contrast against the
active theme background.
