Dark mode is not working correctly. Please:
1. Add a proper dark mode toggle that saves preference to localStorage
2. Apply dark: variants to all components
3. Set default to system preference using prefers-color-scheme
4. Make sure text is readable in both modes (check contrast ratios)

Prevent this next time

Include 'with working dark mode that respects system preference' in your founding prompt.
