fix(web): increase contrast of question option descriptions

[xxashxx-svg]

Fixes #3701

What

Option descriptions in the question tool (pending user input panel) were rendered with text-muted-foreground/50 — the already-muted foreground token at half opacity. Over the composer's translucent bg-muted/20 surface, and especially in dark mode on macOS where a blurred desktop shows through, that lands well below comfortable reading contrast (see the issue's screenshots).

Change

One line in ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.tsx: text-muted-foreground/50 → text-muted-foreground.

Full-opacity text-muted-foreground is the design system's standard treatment for secondary/description text — it's what DialogDescription (ui/dialog.tsx) and menu group labels (ui/menu.tsx) use — so this brings the question panel in line with the rest of the app rather than inventing a new shade. The text-xs size (vs the label's text-sm font-medium) already keeps the description visually subordinate to the option label, so no hierarchy is lost.

This matches the issue reporter's own testing, where removing the heavy dimming was "a vast improvement."

Scoped deliberately to the line users complained about — the panel's other decorative uses of opacity-modified tokens (header, shortcut hints) are legible and untouched.

Low Risk
Single Tailwind class change on descriptive copy only; no logic, auth, or data impact.

Overview
Improves readability of secondary text under each choice in the composer’s pending user-input (question) panel.

Option descriptions no longer use text-muted-foreground/50; they now use full text-muted-foreground, matching patterns like DialogDescription. Labels stay text-sm font-medium; descriptions stay text-xs, so hierarchy is unchanged—only contrast on the translucent composer surface (especially dark mode) is improved.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

Single-line CSS class change that increases text opacity for better contrast. Purely visual styling adjustment with no runtime behavior impact.
