Appearance can pick an installed monospaced family for the file editor, diffs, markdown code, and tool output. The default stays bundled JetBrains Mono. Catalog listing runs off the UI thread.
Drop these PNGs on merge if they should not live in tree.

Summary
Code in Waku is always JetBrains Mono. Size is already a setting; family is not. This adds a Code font picker on Settings → Appearance, modeled on Codex: a dropdown of installed monospaced faces, each row drawn in that face, with the current choice checked.
The default stays the bundled JetBrains Mono, so machines without extra coding fonts look the same as today.

Behavior

Checks
