Fix theme performance regressions affecting mobile scroll

The new theme CSS files introduced several patterns that cause
scroll jank and memory pressure, especially on mobile:

- terminal.css: Full-viewport fixed pseudo-element with repeating
  gradient scanlines forced GPU compositing on every scroll frame.
  Now limited to desktop only with will-change layer promotion.
- codex.css/sakura.css: text-rendering: optimizeLegibility on body
  triggered expensive kerning/ligature computation on all text.
- codex.css: font-feature-settings forced text shaper on every glyph.
- codex.css: hyphens: auto required dictionary lookups during layout.
- style.css: transition: all on buttons and sidebar links caused
  unnecessary animation work during scroll hover state changes.
- main.ts: checkReadItems did O(n) individual querySelector calls
  per scroll tick; switched to single querySelectorAll batch query.
- Polling interval reduced from 1s to 3s (scroll handler already
  covers the normal case, polling is just a robustness fallback).
