fix: resolve background rendering bug in viewport whitespace regions

## Root Cause
Whitespace regions were showing terminal default background instead of app
background color due to incomplete viewport filling in rendering pipeline.

## Changes
1. **detail/model.go**: Added `.Background()` to container style in View() method.
   - Ensures detail view fills entire allocated height with app background color.
   - Fixes visual gap when content is shorter than viewport.

2. **tasklist/model.go**:
   - Wrapped JoinVertical result with Width/Height/Background container.
   - Ensures entire task list viewport fills with app background.
   - Empty state now uses Place() with WithWhitespaceBackground().

3. **app/model.go (renderMainUI)**:
   - Wrapped final JoinVertical result with Width/Height/Background.
   - Ensures header+body+footer composition fills entire viewport.
   - Background color now propagates through component joins.

4. **help/model.go**: Enhanced header styling to ensure proper background fill.

## How It Works
- Every container now has explicit `.Background(m.styles.Theme.Bg)`
- Full-screen content uses Place() with WithWhitespaceBackground()
- Component Views fill their allocated dimensions completely
- No transparent/unset background states remain

## Testing
✅ Build verification: go build -v ./... (no errors)
✅ Runtime test: go run ./cmd/kairo (renders correctly)
✅ All components render with consistent background across viewport
✅ Whitespace regions now show app background, not terminal default
