Subject: [PATCH] feat(setup): paint "you" green in the display-name prompt
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds an `accentGreen` helper (#3fba50) with the same TTY/NO_COLOR/
truecolor gating as the rest of the palette, then wraps the word
"you" in the "What should your assistant call you?" prompt so the
operator parses at a glance who the question is about — the user,
not the assistant. The mirror prompt that asks for the assistant's
name ("What should your assistant be called?") is left for a
follow-up.
