Change the identifiers for users and chat outputs to make it easier to distinguish

[esengine]

Thanks for the nudge. Current cards lean on three axes to differentiate, defined in src/cli/ui/cards/UserCard.tsx and StreamingCard.tsx:

Card	Glyph	Tone	Title
user	›	accent	you
reply (writing)	◈	brand	writing
reply (done)	‹	ok (green)	reply
reasoning	◇ / ◆	accent	reasoning

If they still blend together for you, which axis is the one failing? Most likely suspects:

• glyph — › / ‹ look near-identical in some monospace fonts (Cascadia, JetBrains Mono are clearer than, say, Consolas at small sizes).
• tone — accent vs brand are theme-dependent. The default and dark themes give them clearly different hues; tokyo-night and github-light are closer. Try /theme high-contrast for the loudest separation.
• label — you / reply are short; a bolder uppercase tag ([YOU] / [ASSISTANT]) would read more obviously as a role marker.

A screenshot of how it looks in your terminal + active theme would tell me which one is the actual problem on your end. Happy to take a PR that adds louder role tags (e.g. uppercase pill labels in the card header) if that's the direction you want — cardTitles.you / cardTitles.reply in src/i18n/EN.ts are the strings, and CardHeader (src/cli/ui/primitives/CardHeader.tsx) is where the title renders.

I think the color of the thought blocks should be distinguished from the user's input color. The results in Figure 2 should be output upwards, further away from the cli status bar

If the UI layout could be optimized in the future, I think it would be quite good
