Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Replace all muted/dim text brushes with foreground
 brushes for readability

Muted colors (#8B8FA0, #9B9EC0, #B0B6C0, #9DA5B4, #99E4E6EB) were too
hard to read. All visual text now uses the standard foreground color
(#E4E6EB) across XAML, code-behind, advice panel, charts, and slicers.
