A command, a tool's output and a code block in a reply are the one thing on
this screen that is not somebody's prose, and they now say so: Mocha's
Crust, which sits below Base, so the same colour is one clear step down both
on the page where a reply is drawn and on the card where a tool call is.
The renderer's code background was `surfaceVariant`, which is exactly a
card's own fill -- a fenced block inside a tool call had no background at
all, and one in a reply read as a step *up* out of the page.
Tool output takes the monospace face with it. It is column-aligned far more
often than it is prose -- a listing, a diff, a table of numbers -- and a
proportional font silently destroys the alignment that carried the meaning.
`RawBlock` is a composable rather than a modifier because the inset is part
of it: monospace text against the edge of a tinted block reads as clipping.
A call with neither a subject nor any other field draws nothing at all
rather than an empty tinted rectangle.
