/* =====================================================================
   Studio Merlin, Direction 1: "Daylight Spell"
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   THEME: light only, on purpose. This direction is a gallery-white page
   and is intentionally locked to light. No dark mode is defined, and
   color-scheme is set to "light" so form controls and scrollbars match.

   RADIUS SYSTEM: everything is sharp (border-radius: 0). The ONE
   exception is the pill CTA (.cta), which uses var(--radius-pill).
   Do not introduce other radii.

   ACCENT: ultramarine (#2D3BFF) is rationed: the CTA pill, at most one
   highlighted word per section (.hl), link underlines, focus rings and
   text selection. Nothing else.

   Z-INDEX SCALE: 1 content layers, 10 header, 20 skip link.
   ===================================================================== */
