* Re-encode over-encoded theme backgrounds
Several backgrounds shipped at quality 95-100, which buys nothing visible
on a wallpaper but costs 20 MB. Re-encode those at quality 85, leaving
resolution untouched -- every file keeps its original pixel dimensions.
Only files stored above quality 90 are touched, and only when the result
saves at least 15% and stays above 38 dB PSNR against the original. The
34 backgrounds already stored at quality 85 or below are left alone
rather than pushed through another lossy generation for a few hundred KB.
osaka-jade/2-shaded-entrance is skipped for that reason: nothing clears
both bars. ristretto/2-coffee-beans is re-encoded at 90 instead of 85,
where 85 fell below the PSNR floor.
Theme backgrounds drop from 107 MB to 87 MB.

* Store nord's night-hawks background as a palette PNG
The file uses only 8 distinct colors but was saved as truecolor RGB,
costing 1.8 MB for an image an indexed palette stores in half the space.
Converting to a palette PNG is lossless: same dimensions, and zero pixels
differ from the original.
1782 KB -> 909 KB.
The other palette-eligible PNGs are already indexed, and re-compressing
them with ImageMagick only makes them bigger, so they are left alone.

* Recompress theme PNGs losslessly with oxipng
Every background PNG was left at its authoring tool's default deflate
settings. Running oxipng over them re-packs the same pixels: all 31 files
decode bit-for-bit identically (AE=0) at unchanged resolution, for 981 KB.

* Store photographic backgrounds as JPEG instead of PNG
Four backgrounds were shipped as PNG despite being photographs and
painterly illustrations, where lossless coding buys nothing the eye can
see. Re-encoding them at the same q85 used by the other backgrounds keeps
every pixel dimension and stays above 40 dB PSNR, for 3.3 MB.
The remaining PNGs stay PNG: JPEG is larger for the dot patterns and the
flat-shaded pieces, and 0-launch.png genuinely uses its alpha channel.

The JPEG drew the wordmark in #358fff on pure white, matching neither
the accent nor the background. Every other theme's omarchy wallpaper is
a flat two-color image: the theme's background behind its accent. Lupine
now follows that, so the wallpaper, the lock screen, and the focused
window border are all one blue.
Recolored from the shared wordmark rather than redrawn, so the glyphs
land on the same pixels as every other theme. JPEG was the wrong
container for two flat colors anyway; at one bit per pixel the PNG is
2KB against 71KB, with no ringing around the letters.
