   Holding Advisory — AI-Enablement site
   Design system. Carries the house language forward (navy / gold / chalk,
   EB Garamond + Inter, blueprint grid, node-edge atmospherics) on a light,
   warm-chalk surface: paper ground, deep-navy ink, gold reassigned to accent
   and large-display. Dark navy is retained as a deliberate anchor in two
   scopes only — the footer and the platform map — via the .invert token scope.
   Token-driven and mobile-first-verified.

/* LIGHT SYSTEM (default). Same house family — navy / gold / chalk — with the
   light/dark relationship inverted: warm-chalk paper surface, deep-navy ink,
   gold reassigned to accent + large-display + borders (gold fails as body text
   on paper, so small "gold text" uses a darker bronze that measures >=4.5:1).
   Dark navy is retained as an intentional anchor in two scopes only — the
   footer and the platform map "jewel-box" — re-declared on .invert below. */
