Galaxy basemap: swap to VersaTiles Colorful, a found production style
Some checks are pending
build-gate / build (push) Waiting to run

The Driver ruled the current tiles not nice enough and asked for a
replacement FOUND online rather than authored here. Surveyed the free,
keyless MapLibre styles and measured their ocean colours: CARTO Voyager is
pale teal (#b0d0d6), OSM Americana has real blue but demo-only tile
hosting, VersaTiles Colorful has a true blue ocean (#bfd9f2) on a
maintained, production-free endpoint with 280 styled layers -- the closest
match to the Mapbox look among found styles.

One URL changed in the registry; the Mapbox side is untouched.
