Give readable content its own text size (#3637)

* feat(app): separate content typography from interface size

Readable prose benefits from its own scale without inflating navigation and controls. Preserve existing users’ rendered size during migration while giving fresh desktop installs a 15px content default.

The appearance journey now verifies that changing interface size leaves content size intact. Timeline traversal yields when a test deliberately holds the requested page, so the helper no longer waits on its own gate.

* test(desktop): cover independent content typography

The desktop appearance regression follows the renamed Interface control and verifies it does not alter Content size.

Hierarchy is conveyed through weight and color, not size. Most interface text is `fontSize.base`; compact metadata and hints use `fontSize.sm`. The distinction between a row's primary line and its secondary line is `foreground` versus `foregroundMuted`.

The Appearance **Interface size** setting is the rendered `fontSize.base` value and scales the rest of the UI ramp proportionally. Primary readable content has its own `fontSize.content`, which defaults to 15px on every platform. It owns message bodies, composer input, Markdown, and PR prose. Controls, navigation, metadata, tool chrome, code, diffs, editors, and terminals stay on their interface or code tokens. **Code size** remains independent.
