Fixes #1528

## What

Completes the four-surface accent-token migration from the triage on
#1528. PR #1530 handled three of the four call-out surfaces
(`.field-table .section-row td`, `.copy-link-btn` base rule,
`.multibyte-badge`). This PR finishes the remaining two surfaces that
still had hardcoded blue `rgba(59,130,246,...)` literals on their tinted
backgrounds:

- `public/live.css:1045` `.vcr-scope-btn.active` — `background` +
`border-color` now go through `var(--accent-bg)` /
`var(--accent-border)` with the prior literals retained as safe
fallbacks.
- `public/style.css:2673` `.copy-link-btn:hover` — `background` now goes
through `var(--accent-border)`.

## Why

The triage's "CSS-var theming illusion" finding: foreground text on
these surfaces was already bound to themable tokens, but the backgrounds
were blue-locked. Picking a non-blue accent in the customizer produced
surfaces where the foreground tracked the theme but the background
stayed blue — failing WCAG-AA on light accents (the bug screenshots in
the issue).

## TDD

- Red commit (`b018a752`): adds a Playwright E2E assertion that
overrides `--accent-bg` / `--accent-border` on `:root` with sentinel
colors and asserts `.vcr-scope-btn.active`'s computed `backgroundColor`
/ `borderColor` reflect them. Verified failing against the unfixed CSS —
actual bg was `rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.2)`, sentinel was ignored.
- Green commit (`d46055cd`): the two-line token swap. Verified passing
after `docker cp` of the patched CSS onto staging — bg followed the
override.

E2E assertion added: `test-e2e-playwright.js:3318`

## Preflight

`bash ~/.openclaw/skills/pr-preflight/scripts/run-all.sh origin/master`
— all 9 hard gates pass, no warnings. Critically the "CSS self-fallback"
and "CSS-var defined" checks (the gates that exist for exactly this
class of bug) both pass.

## Scope

Strictly the two remaining surfaces from #1528's fix path. No other
`--accent` usage was touched.
