Closes#36.
## What was wrong
`/wiki/manage` showed its table in near-black text on the near-black page: the
header row, the `tid`, `Posts` and `Created` columns were effectively invisible.
## Root cause
The theme repaints Bootstrap's **light** colour mode dark (`$body-color`,
`$body-bg`, `$card-bg`, …) but never overrode `$body-emphasis-color`, which
Bootstrap defaults to `$black` (`#09080b` here). Everything that chains to
`--bs-emphasis-color` inherited that ink:
- `--bs-table-color` / `-striped-` / `-hover-` / `-active-` on any plain `.table`
- `--bs-tooltip-bg` (dark text on a dark tooltip)
- `--bs-nav-tabs-link-active-color`, `--bs-nav-underline-link-active-color`
- `--bs-list-group-action-hover-color` / `-active-color`
- the `.text-emphasis` / `.link-body-emphasis` utilities
`_controls.scss` had already patched this by hand for the two tables anyone had
noticed (`notification/table`, `flags/list`) and for post-content tables. Every
other table in the forum was still broken. Fixing the variable once is a smaller
diff than a third per-table patch, and it covers tables that do not exist yet.
## The change
One variable in `scss/overrides.scss` — the file whose stated job is exactly
this — plus a contract test so the next dark-repaint variable that goes missing
fails a check instead of shipping.
## Verification
Booted the `sow-nodebb` dev stack with this working tree mounted
(`PLUGIN_PATH=../sow-nodebb-theme`), seeded a wiki namespace with topics, and
compared `/wiki/manage` before and after: unreadable → fully legible, gold rules
and buttons unchanged. Also eyeballed `/categories`, `/notifications`,
`/user/admin`, a topic, `/wiki` and `/flags` for regressions — none. The ACP is
unaffected: it builds from `admin/overrides`, not this file.
All `tests/*.test.js` pass; the new test fails when the variable is reverted.

Adds an Unread dropdown to the topbar utilities (before notifications), per docs/superpowers/plans/2026-07-17-topbar-unread-drawer.md.
- New partial `templates/partials/header/unread-drawer.tpl`: toggle with live `component="unread/count"` badge (core socket updates), server-rendered empty/footer rows.
- `public/client.js`: on dropdown open, fetches `GET /api/unread` and injects up to 10 topic rows (titles/categories via textContent only); fetch failure falls back to the empty state.
- Mobile burger drawer gets an Unread row with the same badge.
- SCSS: unread dropdown joins the shared dropdown width rule; flex row styles for topic items.
Deviations from the plan's example code, found by live verification against the dev forum:
- Plan's `api.get('/unread')` hits the v3 write API and 404s → replaced with a fetch of the `/api/unread` read route.
- NodeBB 4 has no global `window.require`, so runtime translation of the static `[[unread:...]]` strings never ran → those strings are now server-rendered in the template (also removes the plan's translate-over-innerHTML step, which would have re-parsed untrusted titles as HTML).
Verified: full plain-node test suite passes; Playwright against the dev container passed all checks (badge count, item ordering before notifications, dropdown topic links + navigation, /unread footer link, mobile drawer badge at 390px).

Implements Fix 4 of the wiki-links-and-search-followup spec (plugin repo). Removes the {{{ if ./isMainPost }}} fa-book fallback branch from templates/partials/posts_list_item.tpl — it put a book icon on every global-search result title. Only the isWikiArticle badge remains.
Deliberate blast radius: the partial also serves the seven account/profile post lists, which lose the marker too (restores pre-PR-#14 appearance). search-results.tpl untouched; its badge lights up once the companion plugin PR (fix/wiki-links-search-followup) delivers the flags.
Contract test extended to pin the removal; passing.

Theme half of the cross-repo wiki global search work (plugin half: sow-nodebb-plugin-wiki#12).
Search results tagged by the wiki plugin (`isWikiArticle` + `wikiPath`) now render with a gold "Wiki" badge and link to `/wiki/...` instead of `/post/...`:
- `templates/partials/quick-search-results.tpl` — navbar quick-search dropdown
- `templates/partials/search-results.tpl` — `/search` page, topics view
- `templates/partials/posts_list_item.tpl` — `/search` page, posts view (default). Shared with account/group post lists, where the wiki flags are never set and the conditional no-ops.
- `scss/westgate/_search.scss` — badge styling from existing `--wg-gold` / ledger-border tokens; imported from `theme.scss`
- `languages/en-GB/westgate.json` — `[[westgate:wiki-badge]]` label
- Spec updated with the resolved approach (template override, not client-side decoration)
Untagged forum results render byte-identical to Harmony stock.
Verification: all three overrides compiled and rendered against benchpressjs with mixed wiki/forum fixture rows (wiki row gets `/wiki/...` href + exactly one badge; forum rows keep stock `/post/...` links, `RE:` prefix and main-post icon preserved). New contract test in `tests/wiki-search-badge-contract.test.js`; suite passes except the pre-existing `global-footer-contract.test.js` failure (stale `join-the-team` link assertion from #10, also failing on main — not touched here).
End-to-end visual check (badge in the live dropdown + /search) still needs the dev stack with plugin PR #12 merged.
