Prototype verdict — coloring system settled

Branch: proto/gantt-colors (run pnpm devhttp://localhost:5173/?proto=colors)

Chosen: Variant D — outline mix + status icons

Status Bar treatment
todo light fill + dashed project-color border
in_progress solid project-color fill
blocked solid project-color fill + thick dashed border + 🔒 icon
overdue solid project-color fill + thick red border + icon
done near-white fill + faint project-color border (ghost)

All tonal — same project hue throughout, no hue shifts. Icons on blocked/overdue provide a shape channel that survives dense views where borders alone get lost.

The legend must explain: project color → project name, and the 5 tonal/icon treatments → their status meaning.
