VS Code extension: prompt input focus ring ignores theme `focusBorder` (hardcoded orange)

The prompt/chat input in the Claude Code VS Code extension draws a fixed orange focus ring that doesn't follow the active color theme.
VS Code color themes set focusBorder (and related workbench tokens); the extension's webview input should honor them — or expose an accent setting — so the input matches the user's theme. With a custom non-orange theme (e.g. a violet/cyan personal theme), the hardcoded orange ring clashes with everything around it.
Request: honor the theme's focusBorder / accent tokens on the prompt input, or add a setting to override the ring color.
Environment: VS Code extension, macOS. Reproducible with any custom color theme whose accent isn't orange.
