Bold renders the real element: the Bold color setting applies

The owner's repro: the appearance Bold color never applied anywhere.
Root cause: streamdown's default `strong` component renders bold as
<span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong"> - NOT a
<strong> element - while the app's ink plumbing (.lh-prose
:where(strong, b) in globals.css, zero specificity by design) matches
strong/b ELEMENTS. So bold text never took --lh-ink-strong: not the
factory #c96b4a, not any settings boldColor (it rendered plain
foreground at weight 600). Italic always worked because streamdown
leaves `em` native - hence the asymmetry the owner noticed.

Fix: a `strong` override in mdComponents (the stable module-level set,
so Streamdown's memoized tree keeps identity) renders the semantic
element: <strong data-streamdown="strong">. Screen readers announce
emphasis again, the designed token rule applies unmodified, and the
weight reads 700 (the .lh-prose rule) instead of the span's 600.

Both Streamdown surfaces (MessageResponse, reasoning) pass
mdComponents, so every markdown surface is covered.

Verified live: bold in seedplan now renders #c96b4a at weight 700 in a
real <strong>; after PUTting boldColor #7dd3fc the live strong flips
to rgb(125,211,252) with no reload; italic unchanged (#6fa9d6 native
em). Scratch record restored to unset.
