/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   Design system: neutral-cool graphite (near-black ground, desaturated
   charcoal surfaces, neutral near-white text) + teal chrome accent
   (#008170) and deep-green accent edges (#005B41). Gain-green (#3BEB8A)
   is reserved for data/proof moments only. Inter + JetBrains Mono.
   Surfaces are near-neutral by design — the blue-navy set read as a
   generic admin dashboard; graphite reads professional and lets the
   teal/green accents separate cleanly.
   Shared by all pages — palette lives here and only here.
