Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Codex App on Windows 11 using the reported Feedback ID and the dark-theme configuration. Trace how the app theme reaches the built-in browser, then verify that browser pages no longer inherit the app's dark theme and that a separate browser theme setting controls their appearance.
