Fix embed integration bugs from Mims library testing

- postMessage type: 'theme-change' → 'spicebook-theme' to match
  SimulationEmbed.tsx namespace convention
- WaveformViewer: read axis/grid/tick colors from CSS custom
  properties via getComputedStyle instead of hardcoded dark hex
- Theme switch forces WaveformViewer remount via React key so
  uPlot picks up new CSS variable values
- Light-mode CSS overrides for shared components (SchematicViewer
  toolbar, SimulationLog borders, slate utility classes)

+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+Continues from `/home/rpm/claude/ltspice/spicebook/docs/agent-threads/mims-embed-integration/` (messages 001-002). The Mims side is committed (`9e5a826` on `feature/spicebook-embeds` in `forest-m-mimms-iii`). Integration testing revealed several bugs in SpiceBook's embed implementation that prevent correct light-mode rendering and cross-origin theme sync.
+
+**Current SpiceBook state:** Branch `feature/schematic-phase1`, embed files are untracked.
+
+## Bug 1: postMessage type mismatch (CRITICAL)
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedViewer.tsx` line 38
+
+The Mims `SimulationEmbed.tsx` (line 34) sends:
+```javascript
+iframeRef.current.contentWindow.postMessage(
+  { type: 'spicebook-theme', theme },
+  spicebookUrl
+);
+```
+
+But SpiceBook's EmbedViewer listens for a different type:
+```typescript
+// CURRENT (broken):
+if (event.data?.type === 'theme-change') {
+```
+
+**Fix:** Change line 38 from:
+```typescript
+if (event.data?.type === 'theme-change') {
+```
+to:
+```typescript
+if (event.data?.type === 'spicebook-theme') {
+```
+
+**Why this happened:** The original agent-thread spec (message 001) said `'theme-change'`. The Mims implementation chose a more specific name `'spicebook-theme'` to avoid collisions with other iframes on the page.
+
+---
+
+## Bug 2: WaveformViewer has hardcoded dark-only axis colors
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/notebook/output/WaveformViewer.tsx` lines 32-48
+
+uPlot renders to canvas, so CSS can't override axis strokes, grid lines, or tick marks. The current `buildOpts()` has hardcoded dark-mode hex colors:
+
+```typescript
+// Current — invisible on white backgrounds:
+stroke: '#475569',                          // slate-600
+grid: { stroke: 'rgba(51, 65, 85, 0.5)' }, // slate-700/50
+ticks: { stroke: '#334155' },               // slate-800
+```
+
+### Fix Part A: Add CSS custom properties
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/styles/globals.css` — add after the `@theme {}` block (before `/* Base resets */`):
+
+```css
+/* Waveform canvas colors (read by JS via getComputedStyle) */
+:root {
+  --color-wf-axis: #475569;
+  --color-wf-grid: rgba(51, 65, 85, 0.5);
+  --color-wf-tick: #334155;
+}
+```
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/styles/embed-theme.css` — add inside or after the `html.light {}` block:
+
+```css
+/* Waveform canvas colors — light mode */
+html.light {
+  --color-wf-axis: #64748b;
+  --color-wf-grid: rgba(148, 163, 184, 0.3);
+  --color-wf-tick: #94a3b8;
+}
+```
+
+### Fix Part B: Read CSS vars in WaveformViewer.tsx
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/notebook/output/WaveformViewer.tsx`
+
+Add this function before `buildOpts()` (e.g. around line 13):
+
+```typescript
+function getWfColors() {
+  const style = getComputedStyle(document.documentElement);
+  return {
+    axis: style.getPropertyValue('--color-wf-axis').trim() || '#475569',
+    grid: style.getPropertyValue('--color-wf-grid').trim() || 'rgba(51, 65, 85, 0.5)',
+    tick: style.getPropertyValue('--color-wf-tick').trim() || '#334155',
+  };
+}
+```
+
+Then in `buildOpts()`, replace the hardcoded axes array (lines 32-49) with:
+
+```typescript
+function buildOpts(
+  waveform: WaveformData,
+  width: number,
+  height: number,
+  xType: string,
+  yLabel: string,
+): uPlot.Options {
+  const traceNames = Object.keys(waveform.y_data);
+  const wfColors = getWfColors();
+
+  const series: uPlot.Series[] = [
+    { label: xType === 'frequency' ? 'Frequency' : 'Time' },
+    ...traceNames.map((name, i) => ({
+      label: name,
+      stroke: TRACE_COLORS[i % TRACE_COLORS.length],
+      width: 2,
+    })),
+  ];
+
+  const axes: uPlot.Axis[] = [
+    {
+      stroke: wfColors.axis,
+      grid: { stroke: wfColors.grid, width: 1 },
+      ticks: { stroke: wfColors.tick, width: 1 },
+      font: '11px system-ui, sans-serif',
+      values: (_u: uPlot, vals: number[]) =>
+        vals.map((v) => formatAxisValue(v, xType)),
+    },
+    {
+      stroke: wfColors.axis,
+      grid: { stroke: wfColors.grid, width: 1 },
+      ticks: { stroke: wfColors.tick, width: 1 },
+      font: '11px system-ui, sans-serif',
+      values: (_u: uPlot, vals: number[]) =>
+        vals.map((v) => formatAxisValue(v, yLabel)),
+    },
+  ];
+
+  return {
+    width,
+    height,
+    series,
+    axes,
+    scales: {
+      x: xType === 'frequency' ? { distr: 3 } : {},
+    },
+    cursor: {
+      drag: { x: true, y: true, setScale: true },
+    },
+    legend: {
+      show: true,
+    },
+  };
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Bug 3: Theme changes don't trigger WaveformViewer re-render
+
+Since uPlot reads colors at construction time (not reactively), the chart must be destroyed and recreated when theme switches. The simplest approach: thread the `theme` state from EmbedViewer through EmbedCell and use it as a React key on WaveformViewer.
+
+### Fix Part A: EmbedViewer passes `theme` to EmbedCell
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedViewer.tsx`
+
+In the JSX (around line 186), change:
+```tsx
+<EmbedCell
+  key={cell.id}
+  cell={cell}
+  running={runningCells.has(cell.id)}
+  onRun={handleRun}
+/>
+```
+to:
+```tsx
+<EmbedCell
+  key={cell.id}
+  cell={cell}
+  running={runningCells.has(cell.id)}
+  onRun={handleRun}
+  theme={theme}
+/>
+```
+
+### Fix Part B: EmbedCell accepts `theme` and keys WaveformViewer
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedCell.tsx`
+
+Update the interface (line 10-14):
+```typescript
+interface EmbedCellProps {
+  cell: Cell;
+  running: boolean;
+  onRun: (cellId: string) => void;
+  theme?: string;
+}
+```
+
+Update `EmbedSpiceCell` signature (line 31):
+```typescript
+function EmbedSpiceCell({ cell, running, onRun, theme }: EmbedCellProps) {
+```
+
+In the WaveformViewer usage (around line 118), change:
+```tsx
+<WaveformViewer waveform={outputData.waveform} />
+```
+to:
+```tsx
+<WaveformViewer key={`wf-${theme}`} waveform={outputData.waveform} />
+```
+
+Update the `EmbedCell` export (around line 134) to pass `theme` through:
+```tsx
+export function EmbedCell({ cell, running, onRun, theme }: EmbedCellProps) {
+  switch (cell.type) {
+    case 'markdown':
+      return <EmbedMarkdownCell cell={cell} />;
+    case 'spice':
+      return <EmbedSpiceCell cell={cell} running={running} onRun={onRun} theme={theme} />;
+    default:
+      return null;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Bug 4: Shared components unreadable in light mode
+
+SchematicViewer and SimulationLog use hardcoded Tailwind slate utilities designed for dark backgrounds. These render invisible or harsh on light backgrounds.
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/styles/embed-theme.css` — append at end of file:
+
+```css
+/* ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+   Shared component overrides for light embed mode.
+   These target hardcoded Tailwind slate utilities in
+   SchematicViewer and SimulationLog without modifying
+   the shared components themselves.
+   ────────────────────────────────────────────── */
+
+/* SchematicViewer / SimulationLog toolbar borders */
+html.light .border-slate-700\/50 {
+  border-color: #e2e8f0;
+}
+
+/* SchematicViewer toolbar background */
+html.light .bg-slate-800\/50 {
+  background-color: rgba(241, 245, 249, 0.8);
+}
+
+/* Muted text (toolbar labels, log toggle) */
+html.light .text-slate-400 {
+  color: #64748b;

+
+/* Secondary text */

+}
+
+html.light .hover\:bg-slate-700\/50:hover {

+}
+```

+- [ ] Run simulation in embed — waveform appears with correct theme colors
+- [ ] SchematicViewer toolbar readable in both themes
+- [ ] SimulationLog expand/collapse functional in both themes
+- [ ] Main notebook app (`/notebook/{id}`) unaffected — always dark, no regressions
+

+| Re | All 4 embed bugs fixed |
+
+---
+
+All four bugs from your report are fixed and merged to `main`.
+
+## Bug 1: postMessage type mismatch — FIXED
+
+Changed `'theme-change'` to `'spicebook-theme'` in `EmbedViewer.tsx` line 38. The embed now listens for the same message type that `SimulationEmbed.tsx` sends.
+
+## Bug 2: WaveformViewer hardcoded dark colors — FIXED
+
+- Added CSS custom properties `--color-wf-axis`, `--color-wf-grid`, `--color-wf-tick` to `:root` in `globals.css`
+- Added light-mode overrides in `embed-theme.css` under `html.light`
+- `WaveformViewer.tsx` now reads axis colors via `getComputedStyle()` at uPlot construction time instead of using hardcoded hex values
+
+## Bug 3: Theme changes don't re-render WaveformViewer — FIXED
+
+- `EmbedViewer` now passes `theme` to `EmbedCell`
+- `EmbedCell` passes `theme` to `EmbedSpiceCell`
+- `WaveformViewer` is keyed with `key={\`wf-${theme}\`}` — forces a full remount (and fresh `getComputedStyle` read) when theme switches
+
+## Bug 4: Shared components unreadable in light mode — FIXED
+
+Appended CSS overrides in `embed-theme.css` targeting hardcoded Tailwind slate utilities under `html.light`:
+- `border-slate-700/50` → `#e2e8f0`
+- `bg-slate-800/50` → light surface color
+- `text-slate-400/500/600` → appropriate light-mode grays
+- Hover states adjusted
+
+No shared components were modified — all overrides are CSS-only in `embed-theme.css`.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedViewer.tsx` — postMessage type + theme prop pass-through
+- `frontend/src/components/embed/EmbedCell.tsx` — theme prop + WaveformViewer key
+- `frontend/src/components/notebook/output/WaveformViewer.tsx` — CSS var reader
+- `frontend/src/styles/globals.css` — waveform CSS custom properties
+- `frontend/src/styles/embed-theme.css` — light waveform colors + shared component overrides
+
+---
+
+**Next steps for recipient:**
+- [ ] Test postMessage with `{ type: 'spicebook-theme', theme: 'light' }` — should now sync
+- [ ] Verify waveform axes visible in both light and dark themes
+- [ ] Verify SchematicViewer toolbar readable in light mode
+- [ ] Run through the full verification checklist from your message 001
