Summary generated by LLM agent

Acknowledges where the portal's look comes from before the project goes public, and drops the one name taken directly from it.

Background

The portal's visual style was inspired by Texgriddy, an ES-DE theme by Weestuarty, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Its LICENSE header says 2.0, but the text is 4.0. It was recreated from scratch in CSS. The repo contains none of Texgriddy's files: no XML, images, or its Berlin Sans font (we use Fredoka).

What carried over:

the general traits: framed page, glossy tiles with a metallic ring, outlined info boxes, light header bars, capsule buttons, key hints;
a slate and sage palette;
the scheme name "Chilled", which is Texgriddy's label for its own slate and sage scheme.

Role	Texgriddy "Chilled"	Ours
background	`#47697E`	`#4c6878`
background mix	`#688B9A`	`#2f4553`
text	`#FCF1D1`	`#f1f5e9`
boxes	`#a3c586`	`#c3dea2` to `#87a96e`

Copyright covers Texgriddy's files, not colors, short names or general design ideas, so its NonCommercial/ShareAlike terms most likely don't reach our independent CSS. Crediting the inspiration is still right, and it states plainly what was and wasn't used. This isn't legal advice.

Changes

Credits: the README credits Texgriddy, saying it inspired the look and that none of its files, images or fonts are used. It also credits Fredoka (SIL Open Font License), which wasn't credited before.
Portal doc: the discovery portal doc says the same in its color schemes section.
Rename: the color scheme chilled / "Chilled" is now slate / "Slate". The colors are unchanged; they already differ from Texgriddy's in every value.

Testing

Typecheck and the portal tests pass, and the docs pass Prettier. There are no visual changes.

docs: credit Texgriddy and Fredoka; rename the color scheme to Slate f3d85f5239

The portal's look is inspired by Texgriddy, an ES-DE theme by
Weestuarty, recreated in CSS without any of its files. The README and
the portal doc now say so, and credit the Fredoka font. The color
scheme was named after Texgriddy's "Chilled" scheme; it's now Slate.
