a11y(settings): fix #660 by guarding the theme section with a retry boundary

[TochukwuJustice]

closes #660

Summary

This change fixes issue #660 by wrapping the theme section in a localized error boundary so a render failure in the theme control no longer blanks the entire settings panel. Before this work, an unexpected crash in theme could take down the surrounding UI. Now, the theme section fails closed, shows an accessible inline fallback, and offers a retry action so the user can attempt to recover without leaving the panel.

The behavior now works like this:

• The Theme radio group is wrapped in ThemeErrorBoundary.
• If rendering the theme control throws, the boundary logs the error through the existing reportError seam.
• The fallback is announced as an alert and includes a Retry button.
• Clicking Retry clears the boundary state and re-renders the theme control.
• Currency Display and Notifications remain visible because they are outside the boundary.

This matters because the panel stays usable even when theme rendering is broken, and the failure is surfaced through the existing error-reporting path instead of being swallowed silently. The scope now matches the issue more precisely: only the theme section is isolated.

# Changes Made

- Narrowed the error boundary in `src/components/settings/SettingsPanel.tsx` so it wraps only the Theme control.
- Kept the accessible fallback and retry behavior localized to the theme subsection.
- Added a regression test in `src/components/settings/__tests__/SettingsPanel.test.tsx` proving Currency Display and Notifications stay visible when the theme section fails.
- Retained the existing fallback and retry coverage for the error boundary.
