   00 · DESIGN TOKENS — BLUE-LED SYSTEM
   The whole page is blue. Hue never changes across the interface; hierarchy is
   carried by lightness alone. A single conversion colour is the only exception
   and it is reserved for buttons / flagship markers (see --cta below).

   SITE DEFAULT = PALETTE B · "Royal Azure Blue" (chosen 2026-09-23).
   `:root` carries palette B, so the site is azure-blue even before JS runs.
   Palettes A and C remain available as opt-in variants via html[data-palette]
   (specificity 0,1,1 beats :root 0,1,0, so an explicit attribute always wins).
