   Redesign v2 - light editorial magazine

   Dials      : DESIGN_VARIANCE 8 · MOTION_INTENSITY 6 · VISUAL_DENSITY 5
   Theme      : LIGHT, locked. Emerald is brand chrome, never a second theme.
   Accent     : gold #F0A81C, and nothing else, on every section.
   Type       : Bricolage Grotesque (display) · Instrument Sans (body)
                Martian Mono (rank numerals, figures, small labels)
   Shape lock : media + cards 16px · buttons pill · chips and plates 10px
   Cards      : borderless. Art bleeds to the rounded edge. Depth comes from
                one shared tinted shadow plus a hover lift, never an outline.

   House rules honoured here:
     - no max-width on any heading or body text; the container and the grid
       column set the measure (standing preference across these builds)
     - every bounded block shares the same 1200px guides; the header and any
       full-bleed band span the viewport and put their content on those guides
     - no hairline border on a card, no filled progress tracks, no decorative
       dots, no scroll cues, no em-dashes anywhere in rendered copy
