Implementation Plan: NERV UI Theme
Phase 1: Research & Theme Infrastructure [checkpoint: 4b78e77]
- Task: Research existing theme implementation in src/theme.py and src/theme_2.py.
3fa4f64 - Task: Create a new src/theme_nerv.py to house the NERV color constants and theme application logic.
3fa4f64 - Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Research & Theme Infrastructure' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: Base NERV Theme Implementation (Colors & Geometry) [checkpoint: 9c38ea7]
- Task: Implement the "Black Void" and "Phosphor" color palette in src/theme_nerv.py.
3fa4f64 - Task: Implement "Hard Edges" by setting all rounding parameters to 0.0 in the NERV theme.
3fa4f64 - Task: Write unit tests to verify that the NERV theme correctly applies colors and geometry settings.

Phase 3: Visual Effects (Scanlines & Status Flickering) [checkpoint: ceb0c7d]
- Task: Research how to implement a scanline overlay in ImGui (e.g., using a full-screen transparent texture or a custom draw list). 05a2b8e
- Task: Implement the subtle scanline overlay (6% opacity). 05a2b8e
- Task: Implement "Status Flickering" logic for active system indicators (e.g., a periodic alpha modification for specific text elements). 05a2b8e
- Task: Write tests to verify the visual effect triggers (e.g., checking if the scanline overlay is rendered).

Phase 4: Alert Pulsing & Error States [checkpoint: d9495f6]
- Task: Implement "Alert Pulsing" logic that can be triggered by application error events.
d9495f6 - Task: Integrate Alert Pulsing with the NERV theme (shifting borders/background to Alert Red).
d9495f6 - Task: Write tests to verify that an error state triggers the pulsing effect in the NERV theme.

Phase 5: Integration & Theme Selector [checkpoint: afcb1bf]
- Task: Add "NERV" to the theme selection dropdown in src/gui_2.py.
afcb1bf - Task: Ensure that switching to the NERV theme correctly initializes all visual effects (scanlines, etc.).
afcb1bf - Task: Final UX verification and performance check of the NERV theme.

Phase 6: NERV Theme Refinement (Contrast & Readability)
- Task: Fix text readability by ensuring high-contrast text on bright backgrounds (e.g., black text on orange title bars).
- Task: Adjust the NERV palette to use Data Green or Steel for standard text, reserving Orange for accents and backgrounds.
- Task: Update gui_2.py to push/pop style colors for headers if necessary to maintain readability.

Phase 7: CRT Filter Implementation
- Task: Research and implement a more sophisticated "CRT Filter" beyond simple scanlines (e.g., adding a vignette, noise, or subtle color aberration).
- Task: Implement a "CRT Filter" toggle in the theme settings.
- Task: Integrate the new CRT filter into the gui_2.py rendering loop.
