Subject: [PATCH] feat: improve UI contrast, dark mode, dialog sizing, color
 coherence, and add table sorting
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Fix dialog scrollability (flex layout + max-h-[90dvh]) and increase L4 dialog to lg width
- Add styled enable card to L4 dialog matching proxy host pattern
- Unify section colors across proxy host and L4 dialogs (cyan=LB, emerald=DNS, violet=upstream DNS, rose=geo, amber=mTLS)
- Improve light mode contrast: muted-foreground oklch 0.552→0.502, remove opacity modifiers on secondary text
- Improve dark mode: boost muted-foreground to 0.85, increase border opacity 10%→16%, input 15%→20%
- Add bg-card to DataTable wrapper and bg-muted/40 to table headers for surface hierarchy
- Add semantic badge variants (success, warning, info, muted) and StatusChip dark mode fix
- Add server-side sortable columns to Proxy Hosts and L4 Proxy Hosts (name, upstream, status, protocol, listen)
- Add sortKey to DataTable Column type with clickable sort headers (ArrowUp/Down indicators, URL param driven)
- Fix E2E test selectors for shadcn UI (label associations, combobox roles, dropdown menus, mobile drawer)
- Add htmlFor/id to proxy host form fields and aria-labels to select triggers for accessibility
- Add sorting E2E tests for both proxy host pages
