Subject: [PATCH] feat: add prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-contrast media
 queries (#5122)

* feat: add prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-contrast media queries

- Integrate OS prefers-reduced-motion into existing JS toggle system:
  when OS preference is active, force reduced_motion on and disable
  the UI checkbox with an explanatory tooltip
- Add body.reduced-motion CSS rules for hardcoded animations that
  bypass the --animation-duration variable (text_segment fade-in,
  dragover pulse)
- Add prefers-contrast: more media query for enhanced focus outlines

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Support translating title text

* Use duration variable

* Removed stream fade-in override

* Combine hi-contrast selectors
