v1.1.1: second integration-feedback release

Readout legibility (the #1 ask):
- bold own-cell decimal point + colon in seven/fourteen-seg (not hairlines)
- weight prop thickens strokes; gap controls inter-cell kerning

Display colors:
- SegmentDisplay defaults to theme.ledGreen, AlphaDisplay to theme.ledAmber
- valueColor fn + value-space zones on SegmentDisplay (self-coloring readouts)
- charset: colon in both, $ and % in 14-seg; disabled + data-disabled

Knob captions: sublabel (second line) + labelSize (independent of dial size).

New components:
- ToggleSwitch (rocker/slider boolean, role=switch)
- Gauge (read-only radial arc meter, round sibling of Meter)
- TransportButton (play/stop/record/pause/panic, record blinks)
- LampRow (console-print lamp bank), LabeledField, Rack (panel chrome)

Responsiveness: fill on Meter + Fader (stretch to container).
Niceties: PushButton leadingIcon; theme ledGreen/ledAmber/panel tokens.

54 -> 63 exports. 38 unit tests. Browser-verified.

 # Changelog
 
+## 1.1.1 — 2026-07-13
+
+Second integration-feedback release — the friction that showed up once the
+displays and switches went into dense, resizable, themed product panels.
+
+### Readout legibility
+- Seven-segment decimal point and colon now render as **bold cells with their
+  own width** (not hairlines between digits), so `17.5` and `1:23:45` stay
+  readable at status-bar sizes
+- `weight` prop on `SegmentDisplay`/`AlphaDisplay` thickens the segments (a font
+  weight); `gap` controls inter-cell spacing for crowded readouts like `18.1/24`
+
+### Displays: theme + value colors
+- `SegmentDisplay` defaults to `theme.ledGreen`, `AlphaDisplay` to
+  `theme.ledAmber` — theme your readouts once instead of prop-drilling `color`
+- `valueColor: (v) => string` and value-space `zones` on `SegmentDisplay` — a
+  resource readout colors itself green/amber/red without app-side math
+- Charset: `:` colon (both displays), `$` and `%` (14-seg)
+- `disabled` + `data-disabled` on displays (uniform dimming like the controls)
+
+### Knob captions
+- `sublabel` — a second caption line (`SEED` over `world #7`)
+- `labelSize` — caption size independent of the dial diameter
+
+### New components
+- `ToggleSwitch` — rocker/slider boolean (`role="switch"`), the knob slides
+  OFF↔ON; `showStateLabel`, ←/→ keys
