   Tokens §1 · Type §2 · Layout §3 · Components §4 · Motif §5 · Motion §7
   v1.1: the filled CTA pill is navy (carnelian = motif only); footer ground is ink; map is dot-grid, not fill
   v1.2: footer Subscribe pill is cream fill / ink text; medium weight (500) is for nav, labels and buttons only
   v1.4: dusk cohesion — the paper cools toward the hero video (porcelain), ink deepens to night blue-black,
         full-bleed night bands carry the video's world down the page, carnelian gets a taillight-red variant for dark grounds
   v1.5: blended seams — night never cuts to paper: every dark/light boundary is a dusk-sky gradient (night → slate →
         mist → paper), and the paper itself is now a cool dawn blue-grey in the video's own atmosphere */
