fix(client): rebuild the stat box gradient from main

The coloured stat box ran its gradient from `<palette>.light` to
`<palette>.main`. With Material's stock warning that was #ff9800 ->
#ed6c02, a bright orange. The new warning.main is a dark amber chosen so
the "Paused" chip text clears 4.5:1, and MUI derives `light` from it, so
the gradient became brown mud.

The two roles were never compatible: `main` has to be dark enough for
small text on white, and the same value was being used as a large filled
background. The gradient now runs from lighten(main, 0.12) to main,
which keeps the box in the status colour, restores the depth that the
flat brown lost, and holds white contrastText at 4.64:1 or better at the
lightest point for all four palettes.
