/* ==========================================================================
   CUSTOM HOME MECHANICS — chm.css
   Design system + complete stylesheet. Self-contained. No framework.
   One external request only: the IBM Plex Mono <link> in the page <head>.

   Language: honest materials, machined precision, blueprint and measurement.
   Ground is shop paper (light) or graphite (dark); plates are steel; the
   brand mark is oxblood maroon taken from the logo; brass is the keyline.

   Theme convention (fleet standard):
     - every colour defined on bare :root first
     - redefined under @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) guarded by
       :root:not([data-theme="light"])
     - redefined again under :root[data-theme="dark"] so a toggle wins both ways
