## Description

---

`CommandPalette.tsx` is ~3,400 lines: one 2,600-line dialog component builds every item, runs every add-project flow, and renders the results. Layer 1 of a stack that splits it into focused files so each piece reads on its own and the React Compiler caches each piece on its own inputs.

Moves the theme, appearance and theme-editor items, plus the appearance options and save-failure toast the global shortcuts share, into `CommandPaletteThemeItems.tsx`. `useCommandPaletteThemeItems` reads `useTheme` and the theme cards itself, so the dialog no longer holds seven theme values only those items use.

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `CommandPalette.tsx` lines | 3388 | 3249 |
| Renders, open palette + type 10 chars (median of 3) | 2672 | 2684 |

Measured with the fiber render counter, same browser session and seeded dev DB, swapping only the palette files between this layer and the one below it. Behavior is unchanged.

Tests: `vp test run src/reactCompilerCoverage.test.ts -t CommandPalette` (0 bailouts, new files included), `vp test run src/components/CommandPalette.logic.test.ts`, `tsc --noEmit` for apps/web, `vp lint` on changed files.
