v0.7.1

What's Changed

• fix(ipc): Handle stale repository paths gracefully in git:getRepositoryStatus. When a registered repo directory is missing from disk, the handler now returns an unavailable status instead of throwing PathGuardError/Git repository is unavailable. Genuine path-escape attempts still throw.
• style(ui): Darken background to a neutral near-black floor (#0E0F11). Surface ladder, borders, glass tokens, and terminal fallback shifted to match. WCAG AA dim ratios refreshed.
