OBJECTIVE: The main editor surface uses the newed-matched theme for text, gutter/status chrome, cursor/selection, dirty state, and search matches without hurting narrow viewport readability.

AUTHORITY: Parent #57; KEYMAP.md modes/search surfaces; mim REQUIREMENTS.md ui/input/testing rows; newed theme default palette anchors.

AGENT AUTHORITY:

Delivery authority: local-commit
Tracker authority: this issue may be commented and closed when acceptance passes; parent #57 may be commented/checklisted.
Handoff state: committed clean, tracker commented/closed.

PARENT: #57 via explicit issue link and parent checklist.

SCOPE: src/tui.zig rendering, status line, cursor/selection/search-match styles, dirty/read-only/error indicators, render diagnostics/fixtures. Use the theme tokens from #58 or equivalent completed slice.

BOUNDARIES: Do not redesign layout or keymap. Do not make visual tests brittle screenshots; prefer ANSI/text fixtures and render diagnostics.

ACCEPTANCE:

Normal text/background/status line use the newed-matched tokens.
Cursor, active selection, inactive selection, current line if present, search match, and active search match are distinguishable in truecolor and degraded modes.
Dirty/clean/read-only/error status is not color-only; text/icons/labels remain clear.
Rendered frames always reset styles at line/frame boundaries.
Narrow viewport smoke renders stay within expected width/height and remain readable.

VERIFICATION:

zig build test
Render fixture tests for normal frame, dirty state, selection, search match, narrow viewport, and mono/16-color style fallbacks.
zig build v1-smoke

BLOCKERS: depends on theme token/adaptation support.

Closing receipt for #59.

Implemented in local commit 3df3b25 (Apply newed palette to editor chrome):

Applied the newed night palette to editor gutter/text/current-line/cursor/selection/status chrome.
Filled editor and panel rows with themed backgrounds so the global background is visible instead of terminal-default holes.
Added active and non-active search match highlighting using palette tokens.
Status line now exposes clean/dirty state with palette styling.
Updated terminal E2E ANSI-role classification to the new palette values.
Added render tests for global background fill and active/non-active search-match styling.

Verification:

zig build ✅
zig build test ✅
zig build terminal-e2e ✅
zig build run -- --help ✅
zig build --prefix /tmp/mim-install verify-install-code ✅
redgate list /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate lint /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md && redgate health /opt/repositories/mim/REQUIREMENTS.md ✅
