Research direction
Start by reproducing the color palette test with Python's rich module inside Docker, attaching through WSL2 with `docker exec -it /usr/local/bin/zsh`. Compare the result with the expected full, smooth palette and trace which Windows Terminal or WSL2 color-handling entry point produces the degraded output; done means the palette renders correctly in this setup.
