/* =====================================================================
   THE PREPARED ROOM v2 - sitewide design language, all eight pages.
   Loads AFTER site.css on every page. Phase 2, 2026-07-03.

   Final plane - "the prospectus": warm vellum is the page ground after
   the cinematic hero/masthead. No boxed sheets; structure comes from
   spacing, mono margin stamps, and a consistent left ledger-margin axis
   (the Docket Broadsheet + Margin Ledger hybrid). Dark appears only where
   it earns its place - the homepage video hero, the homepage advisory
   band, the Axus annexes (index, our-edge), and the footer - and those
   bands are ink-night (#0B0F18 family) - almost black with a blue undertone,
   not neutral black and not a separate blue band.

   Trust-blue is the only accent. Components consume ONLY
   --accent/--accent-bright/--accent-dim. The Axus device is colorless.
   Exactly ONE full-strength accent moment per page: the Seal. Sanctioned
   micro-dots: Fix intersection point only.

   Newsreader (display) / Instrument Sans (body) / IBM Plex Mono
   (metadata - folio codes, stamps, tags, field labels; never prose).
