OBJECTIVE: Syntax-highlighted source uses newed-compatible highlight group colors while preserving mimâs source-profile and trace-backed rendering model.

AUTHORITY: Parent #57; /opt/repositories/newed/newed-theme/src/default_theme.rs highlight group mappings; highlight.rs; mim src/syntax.zig; req: coding/002, ui/001-002, testing/001-004.

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: Map mim syntax span classes to semantic theme tokens/highlight groups; update renderer/tests for highlighted Zig/source fixture; add fallback behavior for unknown classes.

BOUNDARIES: Do not change parser/highlighter semantics beyond color application. Do not require Tree-sitter for files that currently render without it.

ACCEPTANCE:

Existing syntax spans render with style classes derived from newed highlight groups.
Keywords/functions/types/strings/numbers/comments/operators/variables are distinguishable without excessive contrast noise.
Unknown highlight classes fall back safely to normal text or a documented token.
Style nesting and resets do not corrupt surrounding plain text.
16-color/mono modes remain legible and do not encode critical information only by color.

VERIFICATION:

zig build test
Syntax render fixture tests for representative source, unknown class fallback, style reset, 256/16/mono adaptation.
zig build v1-smoke

BLOCKERS: depends on theme token/adaptation support.

Closing receipt for #60.

Implemented in local commit a9b4eff (Color syntax spans with newed palette):

Existing source-patched Zig syntax spans now render with newed palette highlight colors.
Mapped keyword, builtin/type, string, comment, and number classes to semantic colors.
Search/selection/cursor styles take precedence over syntax highlighting.
Plain text without spans remains on the normal newed themed text path.
Terminal E2E artifact role detection now tracks syntax color roles.

Verification:

zig build ✅
zig build test ✅
zig build terminal-e2e ✅ (new syntax-highlight-colors scenario)
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 ✅
