cproudlock cc1f8ff9fd Print a guide light, whatever the screen theme is ...

Printing a dark-mode page lays a full page of toner down for the background and
knocks the text out of it in white. On a shopfloor printer that is a cartridge
for a handful of guides, and the result is harder to read than the plain
version. Somebody would have found this the expensive way.

The theme tokens are redefined for print only, in an unscoped block because
overriding them has to reach :root. Every guide element already renders through
those variables rather than literal colours, so this is a dozen lines instead of
a rewrite - the same discipline that made dark mode work without dark-mode code.

Backgrounds are dropped rather than printed grey: a callout is identified by its
rule and its heading, which cost nothing. Checkboxes print EMPTY even where they
are ticked on screen, because a printed guide is a worksheet somebody carries to
the bay, and one person's progress is not part of the procedure. The footer
gains the print date beside the version, so a stale copy pinned to a noticeboard
can be spotted.

Also corrects the model and migration found by running this against a real
database rather than SQLite: BaseModel contributes createddate, modifieddate and
isactive to every table and the migration never created them, so the first read
failed on unknown columns; the model had also declared duplicate timestamps on
top, now removed with the API field names kept stable. And the slug is 191
characters, not 300 - it is UNIQUE-indexed, MySQL caps an index key at 767
bytes, and utf8mb4 is 4 bytes per character.
