-  // sampled from fully-opaque pixels only (the cluster sits at 252,192-196,1-2,
-  // so this is the flat colour rather than an antialiased edge). Replaced

   // Everything yellow in the plugin resolves through here: the tailnet label in
   // the bar, the active connection's name, and the IP / DNS subtitle under each
   // machine. That subtitle takes the accent flat rather than through `dim`,
   // because darkening yellow shifts its hue to olive rather than quietening it.
   // Icons stay on the themed foreground.
