Pi v0.79.7: automatic theme mode, self-only updates, extension API helpers, Warp images

Settings can now choose separate light and dark themes and follow terminal color-scheme changes. pi update now updates only pi by default (use --all for pi and packages together). Extension authors get exported CONFIG_DIR_NAME and edit diff helpers (generateDiffString, generateUnifiedPatch). Warp terminals get inline image rendering through Kitty graphics detection. RPC unknown-command errors now include request id to prevent client hangs.
