/* ── BASE PALETTE FALLBACK ───────────────────────────────────────────────── ⛔ ADDED 2026-09-17. This sheet USES sixteen custom properties and DEFINED seven, on the assumption that every page carries the base palette in its own inline :root. Three lore pages, a story and the colophon link this sheet and have no :root of their own, so --ember, --surface, --sophia and friends resolved to nothing on them. An undefined custom property is not an error and not a fallback: the declaration is discarded at compute time and the element silently keeps whatever it inherited. ★ A SHARED SHEET THAT DEPENDS ON ITS CALLERS FOR ITS OWN VOCABULARY IS NOT SHARED, IT IS BORROWED. Declared first so any page-level :root still wins by source order. Found by a custom-property coverage check added to tools/preflight.mjs the same day, after the homepage shipped six rules referencing a token defined in a different page's generator. */ :root{ --void:#08070a; --abyss:#0c0b10; --deep:#111016; --surface:#18161f; --edge:#242230; --text:#a09cb0; --light:#d0cce0; --white:#f0eef8; --ember:#d4a04a; --ember-dim:rgba(212,160,74,.12); --ember-glow:rgba(212,160,74,.25); --sophia:#7b6cc7; --sophia-dim:rgba(123,108,199,.12); /* Secondary text. rgb(90,86,112) measures 2.87:1 on this paper and fails the 4.5 floor at small sizes; this measures 4.74 and is still far quieter than body prose. */ --ink-2:rgb(124,120,146); --sacred:'Cinzel',serif; --prose:'Cormorant Garamond',Georgia,serif; --sys:'IBM Plex Mono',monospace; } /* ============================================================================ HIEROPHANT — SHARED DESIGN LAYER ============================================================================ Added 2026-09-04.
