/* Canvas of Courage - single hand-rolled stylesheet (SDD DV-002). v2 visual pass.
   Palette per RQ-008: lavender accent range #D9C2DE to #DCC6E0 (plus tints of
   the same hue), near-black #1A1A1A, white/cream. No other accent colors.
   Depth comes from tints, opacity, and shadow of these hues only; motion is
   limited to small CSS hover/focus transitions (DV-005: no scroll-reveal or
   animation frameworks) and is disabled under prefers-reduced-motion. */
