Comprehensive UI overhaul of the Search Builder (now Launchpad) applying OUI design tokens, patterns, and dark mode support.

Visual changes:

  • Apply OUI color tokens (sky palette), Source Sans 3 font, spacing scale
  • Add dark mode with full token set and theme toggle
  • Dark mode OpenSearch logo with official brand colors
  • Redesign document result cards with rank, title, meta, inline score
  • Add custom IndexDropdown with two-line items (name, description, date, docs)
  • Replace Compare toggle with Single/Compare segmented control
  • Compact e-commerce cards with side thumbnails in compare mode
  • Responsive layout at 1024px max-width with breakpoints at 960/768/640px

Interaction changes:

  • Settings panel collapsed by default
  • Prevent selecting same index in both compare dropdowns
  • Preserve template and search results when switching Single/Compare modes
  • Suggestion chips shown directly under search bar (no toggle label)
  • Limit suggestions to 5, single capability badge per chip

Cleanup:

  • Remove dead code for chat template, unused state, template icons
  • Remove capability pills from settings (info in dropdown + pane headers)
  • Align all spacing, radius, and typography with OUI design system spec

Description

Redesigns the Search Builder UI to align with the OUI design system. Adds dark mode, a custom index dropdown with rich metadata, a Single/Compare segmented view selector, and redesigned result cards. Reduces templates to Document and E-Commerce, removes dead chat template code, and improves responsive behavior.
