* Kuickr design tokens — the `--kk-*` system (deck-app redesign)
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Design-system library member: kuickr.
*
* Source of truth: extracted from docs/prototypes/deck-app/"Kuickr Design
* Tokens.html" on 2026-06-23. Contract: Kuickr numbered design-system plan
* docs.
*
* This SUPERSEDES the warm-paper `--k-*` vocabulary in
* app/assets/stylesheets/kuickr.css. During the rebuild both may coexist; new
* UI references `var(--kk-*)`. Never hard-code hex — reference a token.
*
* Light values live in :root; dark overrides apply via [data-theme="dark"]
* (explicit toggle) — match the prototype, which uses an explicit toggle, not
* prefers-color-scheme.
