V1.1.0

Roadmap for the next known-good tag. Nothing here is a blocker; these are
deliberate improvements to land once decided.

Pin all installed packages

Goal: a v1.x checkout installs the exact package versions it shipped
with, instead of whatever the archives serve that day. Base package.el
has no lockfile, so this needs a deliberate approach — pick one:
- Vendor elpa/ into git (easiest for many packages, stays vanilla)
  Commit ~/.config/emacs/elpa/. Pins every package at once with no
  per-package config; a fresh clone finds them already installed and skips
  reinstalling. Downsides: bloats the repo; keep eln-cache/ gitignored and
  let each machine recompile native code; .elc is tied to the Emacs major
  version.
- Per-package :vc + :rev (good for 1–2 packages, tedious at scale)
  Convert a use-package form to a git source pinned to a commit, e.g.
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil" :rev "SHA"). Fine for the
  odd VCS package; painful across the whole set, and Magit is fiddly to build
  from source this way.
- straight.el / elpaca lockfile (cleanest manifest, philosophy cost)
  M-x straight-freeze-versions writes a commit-pinned manifest that scales
  effortlessly and restores with straight-thaw-versions — but it replaces
  package.el, a step away from the vanilla-first line.
Decision: TBD

DRY the #111111 background into a single defconst in init-theme.el
(currently hardcoded ~5 times).
