/* =====================================================================
   Studio Merlin, Direction 2: "Liquid Silver"
   Cold luxury. Smoke and chrome, minimal, quiet confidence.

   THEME: dark theme is LOCKED. There is no light variant on purpose;
   the chrome sigil and the graphite surfaces are the brand moment.
   `color-scheme: dark` is set so browser UI matches.

   RADIUS SYSTEM (documented, used everywhere):
     --r-soft: 14px  -> cards, images, panels, media
     --r-pill: 999px -> every button and pill-shaped control
     Nothing else gets rounded corners (lists, sections, inputs are square).

   ACCENT: ice-blue #9FD8FF is the only accent. Used sparingly:
   focus rings, text selection, the "now" number in the proof line,
   the active testimonial marker and link underline hover.
   The chrome look comes from silver gradients, never from extra hues.
