feat: themed scrollbars and chiseled thumbnail chips

- Replace browser scrollbars with slim 6px overlay pills that tint to
  primary on hover (transparent track, Firefox + WebKit).
- Rework the thumbnail badge family: drop the mismatched white ring
  halo for a 1px dark frame + inset top highlight, and swap rounded-
  full pills for rounded-sm chips so the ornaments match the pixel-art
  aesthetic used elsewhere in the app.
- Soften the ActiveHeapCard desert backdrop so the fanned thumbnails
  read on top.
