+Add per-column color to dashboard table tiles. On builder table tiles you can
+now set a static color on a column and layer ordered conditional rules (for
+example `> 500` turns the cell red), the table-cell counterpart of the
+number-tile color. Rules are authored from the column editor and applied per
+cell at render, reusing the existing palette tokens so colors reflow across
+light and dark themes.

- * `packages/app/src/theme/themes/<theme>/_tokens.scss`:
- *   chart-{hue}                 -> --color-chart-{hue}                    (10 hues, unified across themes)
- *   chart-success/warning/error -> --color-chart-{success|warning|error}  (semantic; unified across brands)
- *
- * `chart-info` is a render-time CSS variable (defined in the shared
- * `chart-semantic-tokens` SCSS mixin) but is intentionally *not* in the
- * picker enum; it's consumed only by code paths that always want
- * brand-primary (e.g. info-level log series, `getChartColorInfo()`).
- *
- * Storing tokens (not hex) lets user choices reflow correctly across
- * themes and color modes; see notes/repo-conventions/hyperdx/tile-styling.md.
- *
- * Lives in common-utils because the schema is shared between the app
- * and the API; the theme-aware CSS resolver (`getColorFromCSSToken`)
- * stays in `packages/app/src/utils.ts` because it depends on
- * `getComputedStyle(document.documentElement)`.
