   Tokens

   Revisited 2026-08-30 per BC's direction after reviewing an audit
   critique: "fleet-tech" near-black + electric-blue, replacing the
   crimson-red accent. --green-tint is deliberately a NEUTRAL cool
   gray, not a light-blue wash — with blue promoted to the primary
   accent, a blue-tinted card/section background would visually merge
   with buttons and links instead of reading as a distinct quiet
   surface. Gold stays as the rare secondary accent (lease labels,
   hover details) — untouched by this pass. Token NAMES are kept as
   the original steel/highway naming (--green, --yellow, etc.) so
   every component rule that already references them recolors
   automatically — only the values changed, not the variable names
   or usage sites.
