Mobile now forces the Light theme (desktop theme preference unchanged)

[UPDATE] Mobile visitors are now locked to the Light theme for better outdoor-reading contrast and faster visual parsing on small screens.

Behavior

Mobile UA (iPhone/iPad/Android) always renders with data-theme="light", set by an inline head script before first paint — no dark-theme flash.
The user's saved theme preference (DB for signed-in users, localStorage for guests) is not modified. Log back in from desktop and you see exactly the theme you had before.
The theme-switcher control in the user menu is hidden on mobile — switching there would not survive a page reload anyway.

No DB changes. No schema changes. Saved preferences are untouched.
