BOS's skel .zshrc cats ~/.cache/wal/sequences to colour terminals. Only wal writes that file, so after the switch terminals would silently keep stale colours.

bread-theme writes its own sequences file (OSC 4 for the 16 slots, OSC 10/11/12 for fg/bg/cursor) at a bread-owned path whenever the global palette is written.
Consider also emitting a kitty include-able colours file.
Side benefit: terminals get the fixed BOS dark bg like the GTK apps, instead of pywal's raw wallpaper-derived bg (current mismatch).

Part of epic PYWAL.

PR: #36

write_global_palette now also writes sequences_path() (OSC 4 for 16 ANSI slots + OSC 10/11/12 for fg/bg/cursor) so BOS's skel .zshrc keeps working without wal. Kitty-specific colours file was considered but not added (OSC sequences already cover kitty); noted as a possible follow-up if actually needed.

Reviewed on bread-ecosystem#36. This part is good: sequences_path() = $XDG_CACHE_HOME/bread/sequences, with OSC 4 for 0..15 and OSC 10/11/12, tested. BOS .zshrc cats $HOME/.cache/bread/sequences, which matches when XDG_CACHE_HOME is unset; bos#52 has a nit about honouring it. Not merged, because it ships in the same PR as ECO-29/30, which need rework. Left in review.

Second-round review: ready. write_global_palette writes sequences next to palette.json: OSC 4 for 16 slots with 8-15 mirroring 0-7, then OSC 10/11/12, ST-terminated. The test asserts the exact escape strings. The path matches what bos#52's skel .zshrc cats, including the XDG_CACHE_HOME case. This stays in review because it lands with bread-ecosystem#36 (release-sensitive repo, currently held for the ECO-30 fix).
