   Hand-written stylesheet. Mobile-first, system fonts only, no external resources,
   no external files or imported sheets: textures are CSS gradients, photos are <picture> elements.

   WCAG AA colour pairs (text / background, contrast ratio):
     ink #2b1d12 on cream #fbf5e9 ............ 15.6   ink on sand #f1e6d0 ............. 13.2
     muted #5c4a3a on paper #fffdf8 .......... 7.8    muted on sand ................... 6.8
     brick #7a2e1d on cream .................. 9.0    brick on paper / sand ...... 9.2 / 7.6
     cream on brick (buttons, chips) ......... 8.7    cream on brick-dark #5e2316 ..... 11.2
     cream on hero ink #1e1108 ............... 17.0   gold-light #f2cf86 on hero ink .. 12.3
     ink on gold button #e8b958 .............. 8.9    ink on badge #e8c26e ............ 9.6
     cream on pine #1d3a2a (gift banner) ..... 11.4   gold-light on pine .............. 8.3
     gold-light on brick (CTA band) .......... 6.3    gold-text #7a5512 on paper/cream  6.6 / 6.2
     cream on ink (footer, phone frame) ...... 15.0   ink on note #fff4c7 ............. 14.8
     focus #1f4e9c on paper .................. 7.9    focus gold-light on dark areas .. 12.3
   Photo backgrounds (hero, banners) carry a baked-in dark overlay; their text regions measure
   >= 5.1:1 against cream (scripts/media_manifest.json text_regions). */
