feat(charts): quieter chart chrome: solid grid, short time ticks, lighter stacked areas - #2569
After #2557 and #2565 the chrome around the charts is calmer than the charts themselves. This PR brings the shared chart chrome in line. Every change is in the shared axis, grid, legend and tooltip code, so every chart and dashboard tile picks it up.
What changes
The grid is a solid hairline. It was dashed at the chart theme's default strength, which made it the busiest thing in a plot that holds one line. It is solid now and a step quieter (Y_GRID, renamed from DASHED_Y_GRID across the 13 definitions that use it). The cursor line follows.
Dashes mean something again. With the grid and cursor solid, a dash is left for a threshold, a partial bucket or a secondary series.
Time ticks are shorter. On a 12-hour clock a tick reads 6 AM or 6:30 AM instead of 06:00 AM, and Oct 20, 12 PM instead of Oct 20, 12:00 PM. A 24-hour clock keeps 06:00. The hour is the one on the viewer's clock, so a tick in a half-hour zone is still right. Tooltip headings keep the full 01:10 PM, like timestamps elsewhere in the app.
A stacked area is a light fill under an edge. It was flat fills at 55% with no edge, which read as slabs and hid the grid. Each band now fills at 30% under its own top edge. The edges paint top band first, so a band at zero leaves the edge of the one under it visible.
A bar column is rounded at its top only. A grouped bar no longer rounds the corners that stand on the baseline, and a stack rounds the top of its last non-empty segment.
Legends take the muted tone. The compact legend under a chart and the header legend on service cards were brighter than the card title above them. They now match the plot legend and the dashboard tile's header legend; the hovered item reads at full strength.
Not in this PR
Stat tiles: the figure sits centred in a lot of empty space. That is a layout decision, not chrome.
A separator between stacked bar segments: on a dense tile a bar is about a pixel wide and a 1px separator would erase it.
The pie palette, which is more saturated than the series palette.
Verification
Typecheck for packages/ui, packages/views and apps/web; lint for the three; the chart tests, the dashboard and page kit tests, and the formatter tests, which gain cases for the tick rules (on the hour, half past, a 24-hour locale, a half-hour zone, a locale that prints its own digits, a window of minutes). A new test pins which segment of a stacked bar is the top of its column.
On the preview, over the seeded demo services: the Overview, a service's Overview tab and the logs volume chart draw the new grid, ticks and legends in both themes.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Visual Updates
Chart grid lines are now solid and more subtle, and the chart’s vertical cursor is solid.
Stacked area charts have thinner edges and lighter fills; stacked bars round only their top segment.
Legend labels use muted text, with stronger contrast on hover.
Chart tooltips have updated spacing and typography, with count tooltips using a consistent layout.
Improvements
Time-axis labels adapt to the selected locale, with more concise hour labels and clearer handling of seconds and time zones.
…hter stacks
The grid and the cursor were dashed, so dashes meant nothing; they are solid
hairlines now and a dash is left for a threshold, a partial bucket or a
secondary series. Time ticks on a 12-hour clock read "6 AM" and "6:30 AM"
instead of "06:00 AM"; a 24-hour clock keeps "06:00". A stacked area is a
light fill under each band's edge instead of flat slabs, and a bar column is
rounded at its top only. Tooltip values are set in the display face with
tabular figures, and the legends under a chart and in a card header take the
muted tone.
Tick labels use locale-specific hour formatting, omit minutes for 12-hour ticks on the hour, and retain seconds when requested. Tests and examples cover the updated labels.

Summary
Grid and crosshair styling packages/views/src/charts/plot/plot-grid.ts, packages/views/src/charts/plot/plot-focus.ts, packages/views/src/charts/definitions/*, packages/views/src/charts/timeseries.ts
The y-grid uses solid lines with reduced opacity. Chart axes use Y_GRID, and the focus crosshair no longer specifies a dashed stroke.
Area and bar marks packages/views/src/charts/definitions/area.ts, packages/views/src/charts/definitions/bar.ts, packages/views/src/charts/definitions/bar.test.ts
Stacked area fills use lower opacity and edges follow reverse visible-series order. Bar cells identify the top positive stack segment for conditional corner rounding. Tests cover top-cell selection and stacked cell bases.
Tooltip and legend styling packages/views/src/charts/bucket-tooltip.ts, packages/views/src/charts/histogram-chart.ts, packages/views/src/charts/fixed-metric-legend.ts, packages/views/src/charts/timeseries-legend.ts, apps/web/src/page/kit/widget-shell.ts
Histogram tooltips use the shared bucket tooltip renderer. Tooltip typography, swatches, and legend text colors change.
This change adjusts chart appearance and time-axis labels. No concrete behavioral risk was found, and the earlier locale-related test and formatting concerns are resolved.

Explanation
The title names the main change: chart styling updates, including a solid grid, shorter time-axis ticks, and lighter stacked area fills. The raw summary confirms each item: Y_GRID replaces DASHED_Y_GRID, 12-hour tick labels shorten in formatBucketLabel, and stacked area opacity is reduced. The title's 'feat(charts)' prefix and concise wording fit the changeset. The title omits the bar-rounding, legend, and tooltip changes, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

- Line 257: Update the minute check using full.formatToParts(date) so it detects
zero in the formatter’s selected numbering system instead of assuming the value
is "00"; preserve the selected time zone. Add a regression case for an on-hour
tick using a non-Latin numbering system, such as Arabic digits.

The check compared the label's minute part with "00", which a locale with
its own digits never prints, so its ticks kept their minutes. It reads the
minute off a Latin-digit formatter in the same zone instead. Also pins which
segment of a stacked bar is the top of its column.
