   How this sheet is built:
   - Every colour is a palette token (three palettes below, picked with data-palette on <html>). No hex below the palettes.
   - Every space is a --s-* step on the 4px grid; every corner is a --r-* step; every font size a --fs-* step.
   - Chrome is solid: no gradients, no glow, no glass. The owner's art (the banner, the image slots) keeps its own light.
   - The red is a FILL (buttons, the active nav bar, the play button, the focus ring). Text on it is white.
     Red as text exists only as --da-red-text, on icons and large type, where it clears 3:1. */
