Let an agent install it

Give this prompt to your coding agent. It includes the Kitty install page, native file, steps, and safety constraints.

Help me install the One Light theme for Kitty on this machine.

Read the install page: https://terminalthemes.iwwi.app/kitty/themes/one/light/
Native theme file: https://terminalthemes.iwwi.app/ports/kitty/one-light.conf

Follow these steps:
1. Save the file to ~/.config/kitty/<name>.conf.
2. Add include <name>.conf to ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf.
3. Reload the Kitty configuration.

One-line install:
mkdir -p "$HOME/.config/kitty" && curl -fsSL "https://terminalthemes.iwwi.app/ports/kitty/one-light.conf" -o "$HOME/.config/kitty/one-light.conf" && { grep -qxF 'include one-light.conf' "$HOME/.config/kitty/kitty.conf" 2>/dev/null || printf '\ninclude %s\n' 'one-light.conf' >> "$HOME/.config/kitty/kitty.conf"; }
# Reload Kitty.

Inspect and back up my existing configuration first. Change only what this theme needs; do not overwrite unrelated settings. Ask before changing my default theme. After installing, verify the file exists and tell me which files changed.
