output from CPU instruction execution hot path +- **Result**: Emulator now runs at full 60 FPS + +**Instruction Logging Default Changed:** +- **Changed**: `kLogInstructions` flag default from `true` to `false` +- **Reason**: Even without console spam, logging every instruction to DisassemblyViewer caused significant slowdown +- **Impact**: No logging overhead unless explicitly enabled by user +

GUI & UX Modernization - **Theme System**: Implemented a comprehensive theme system (`AgentUITheme`) that centralizes all UI colors. All Agent UI components are now theme-aware, deriving colors from the main application theme. - **UI Helper Library**: Created a library of 30+ reusable UI helper functions (`AgentUI::*` and `gui::*`) to standardize panel styles, section headers, status indicators, and buttons, reducing boilerplate code by over 50%.
