✨ Add glow variant and improve variant handling

Add new glow variant with ultra-dark backgrounds and pure neon colors

- Add glow variant with pitch-black sidebar and deep purple editor
- Update documentation to reference four variants instead of three
- Improve palette color management with get_colors() function
- Add exact VSCode theme color mappings for soft and vibrant variants
- Update Git configuration with enhanced conventional commit support
- Fix palette integration loading in compiled themes
- Update command completion and help text for glow variant
- Add proper variant-specific background and selection colors

Provides maximum contrast option for OLED displays and extreme
contrast preferences while maintaining consistent API.
