Summary of Changes

Hello @nuke-ellington, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a styling concern by updating the background color of the counter pill in the ix-tab-item component. The change ensures that the counter pill's background now uses the --theme-color-1 variable, promoting better consistency with the overall theme's primary color palette.

Highlights

Styling Update: The background color variable for the counter pill within the ix-tab-item component has been updated from --theme-pill-outline--background to --theme-color-1.
Changelog Entry: A new changeset file (.changeset/unlucky-bikes-punch.md) was added to document this styling patch for the ix-tab-item.
