/* ============================================================================
* Kuickr LANDING design tokens
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Design-system library member: kuickr-landing (spec 35.5).
*
* REPLACES the "Signal" direction (ink + electric violet, version c119dc7c),
* rejected by the founder. That snapshot stays retained and addressable; this is
* the current identity.
*
* DERIVED FROM A MEASURED REVIEW of poolside.ai and speakeasy.com — read at the
* stylesheet level, not by impression. Six mechanisms both sites share, all of
* them load-bearing below.
*
* fal.ai was the third reference and could not be fetched (Vercel bot gate), so
* the first cut of this file attributed nothing to it. The founder then supplied
* a full screenshot, and the decorative palette and hero band below ARE from
* fal — read from that image rather than from its stylesheet, which is a weaker
* source and is why only the coarse decisions (hue family, blob texture, cool
* pale ground) are taken from it and none of the fine ones.
*
* 1. ONE REVERSIBLE NEUTRAL RAMP, semantics as aliases. Dark mode falls out of
* swapping two values; there is no second palette to maintain.
* 2. WARM NEUTRALS. Near-black is never #000 and paper is never #fff-only —
* both grounds carry a yellow-brown cast.
* 3. STRUCTURE IS INK AT ALPHA. Hairlines are the ink colour at 12%/24%, not
* grey hexes. Cards are a 1px ring, never a blurred drop shadow.
* 4. UPPERCASE IS QUARANTINED to mono micro-type at +0.08em. Headlines are
* sentence case with NEGATIVE tracking. Tracking is a function of size:
* negative above ~20px, exactly zero at or below 16px.
* 5. GRAPHICS ARE CONSTRUCTED, not screenshotted — built from the same
* material as the page, so they theme and stay crisp at any DPI.
* 6. MOTION IS ENTRY-ONLY and staggered. Nothing loops in the background.
*
* LIGHT IS PRIMARY, as on both references, with dark as an explicit opt-in via
* data-theme (three states: system / light / dark) rather than bare
* prefers-color-scheme.
*
* Scoped: apply class="ks-tokens" to the page root.
*
* FIVE RULES OF USE, shipped as part of the system:
* 1. Terracotta marks RECEIPT and nothing else — the inbound marker, the
* running total, the comment anchor, the winning column, and exactly one
* primary CTA per band. Never headlines, never section grounds, never
* decoration. If a colour is not reporting that something came back from a
* stranger, it is ink or stone.
* 2. One accent object per band, maximum. Scope it at section level. If two
* things in one viewport are terracotta, one of them is wrong.
* 3. The accent NEVER changes hue between themes — only --ks-accent-text is
* re-tuned for legibility. A signal that means something must stay the same
* colour in both.
* 4. Structure is never accent-coloured. Borders, rules and card edges use the
* hairline roles only. No coloured borders, no gradient as structure, and
* --ks-shadow may appear at most twice on a page.
* 5. The decorative palette is ORNAMENT AND NOTHING ELSE. --ks-deco-* may
* only ever be a background shape. It may not colour text, a border, an
* icon, a chart, a state or a control, and no product concept may be
* identified by one of these hues. This rule is what keeps rule 1 true:
* the moment a decorative colour means something, terracotta stops being
* the thing that means "received".
* Every --ks-deco-* value is light enough to carry --ks-ink at AA, because
* the reference this came from lets shapes sit behind text — legibility,
* not avoidance, is what makes that safe.
* ========================================================================== */

* Nodepad design tokens - scoped app/workspace snapshot
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Design-system library member: nodepad.
*
* Source CSS: InventList app/assets/stylesheets/nodepad_tokens.css.
* Typography docs: InventList docs/design/TOKENS.md, DESIGN_PRINCIPLES.md,
* DESIGN_SYSTEM.md, and INTERACTION_PATTERNS.md.
*
* Copied into Kuickr on 2026-06-29 so agents can select Nodepad separately
* from the broader inventlist.com design-system reference. This token sheet is
* scoped: apply class="np-tokens" to the page root before referencing these
* variables in generated HTML.
*
* Refreshed 2026-07-21 (spec 35.3) to matte surfaces + Inter, retiring the
* editorial serif to the immutable 23a1cbe5 snapshot.
*
* REALIGNED 2026-08-16 (spec 35.4, founder instruction) to the identity the
* founder supplied when this feature was built: Geist, Geist Mono, Instrument
* Serif as the accent face, warm paper #faf9f7, near-black ink #0e0d0b, and
* amber #e8901a as the accent.
*
* This CLOSES A SPLIT, it does not open one. The nodepad app-shell adapter
* (app/assets/stylesheets/design_systems/nodepad_shell.css) has always mapped
* Geist + #faf9f7 + #0e0d0b + #e8901a into the --kk-* roles, so the chrome was
* already wearing this identity while this sheet said Inter and focus-green.
* A page authored on `nodepad` therefore did not match the chrome around it.
* They now agree.
*
* WHAT DID NOT CHANGE: every token NAME (nothing referencing --np-* breaks), the
* operator brand roles (--np-memory / --np-focus / --np-distill are semantic
* operator colours, not the accent), the kind chips, and the sticky fills.
* The retired snapshots 23a1cbe5 and d15c7c07 stay addressable.

* DESIGN_SYSTEM.md, and INTERACTION_PATTERNS.md.
*
* Copied into Kuickr on 2026-06-29 so agents can select Nodepad separately
* from the broader inventlist.com design-system reference. This token sheet is
* scoped: apply class="np-tokens" to the page root before referencing these
* variables in generated HTML.
*
* Refreshed 2026-07-21 (spec 35.3) to matte surfaces + Inter, retiring the
* editorial serif to the immutable 23a1cbe5 snapshot.
*
* REALIGNED 2026-08-16 (spec 35.4, founder instruction) to the identity the
* founder supplied when this feature was built: Geist, Geist Mono, Instrument
* Serif as the accent face, warm paper #faf9f7, near-black ink #0e0d0b, and
* amber #e8901a as the accent.
*
* This CLOSES A SPLIT, it does not open one. The nodepad app-shell adapter
* (app/assets/stylesheets/design_systems/nodepad_shell.css) has always mapped
* Geist + #faf9f7 + #0e0d0b + #e8901a into the --kk-* roles, so the chrome was
* already wearing this identity while this sheet said Inter and focus-green.
* A page authored on `nodepad` therefore did not match the chrome around it.
* They now agree.
*
* WHAT DID NOT CHANGE: every token NAME (nothing referencing --np-* breaks), the
* operator brand roles (--np-memory / --np-focus / --np-distill are semantic
* operator colours, not the accent), the kind chips, and the sticky fills.
* The retired snapshots 23a1cbe5 and d15c7c07 stay addressable.
