/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   AUTEUR STUDIO — DESIGN SYSTEM
   Codified from the homepage, 2026-08-24. The homepage keeps its own inline
   sheet (3,000 lines of accumulated overrides, approved as it stands); this
   file is the same system written cleanly, and every other page builds on it.

   THE RULES, in the order they were decided:

   1. LIGHT THROUGHOUT. White ground, not paper, not cream.
   2. BLUE NEVER BLACK. The darkest value in the system is #0C1A2E. Text may go
      almost black — so far into the dark blue that it is nearly indistinguish-
      able — but it stays blue. No neutral greys: every grey leans blue.
   3. NO GOLD. It was the accent in 49 places and is now gone entirely,
      including from pseudo-elements, where colour sweeps cannot see it.
   4. SHARP EDGES. border-radius: 0 everywhere. The one exception is the Ask
      Auteur orb, which is a round mark.
   5. ALTERNATING BANDS. Sections alternate #0C1A2E and #FFFFFF down the page.
      Never two of the same in a row; never a thin strip of one trapped between
      two of the other.
   6. COLOUR MEANS SOMETHING. Accent marks structure — labels, rules, emphasis.
      It is never applied for texture, and never per-item as a palette.
   7. LEGIBILITY IS MEASURED, NOT EYEBALLED. Body text clears 4.5:1 against the
      ground actually painted behind it; large display type clears 3:1. Check
      gradients by eye — reading through them to the colour underneath is how
      an unreadable section once passed a sweep.

/* Measured 2026-08-27: .nav-ask centers its content at the true geometric
   centre (it's its own flex container), while sibling text links sit lower
   within their box, since their line-height (1.65, inherited from body) is
   taller than their glyph and a font's leading isn't split evenly above and
   below the baseline.
   margin-top nudges it down rather than changing every nav link's
   line-height globally — but under align-items:center a one-sided margin
   only shows up as HALF its value (the flex line's free-space distribution
   absorbs the other half), so this is roughly 2x the measured gap, not the
   gap itself, and the exact value is font-size-dependent: 11px closed a
   5.5px gap at 0.72rem; once the nav font was matched to the homepage's
   0.85rem (below), the same 11px overshot to +1.4px and 8px is what
   actually measures flush (-0.1px). Verified against the rendered text
   position each time, not assumed — re-measure if the font size changes
