/* ============================================================
grow-in 7 — GALLERY THEME LAYER
Loaded AFTER a page's own stylesheet(s). Converts the whole site
to the "Gallery" design: dark wall surfaces, cream type, Fraunces
serif display, tomato/ink brand marks kept.
Mechanism: the existing stylesheets consistently use the design
tokens below for text/surface roles, so re-pinning the tokens flips
most components; the exceptions (ink-as-background components, nav)
are patched explicitly at the end.
============================================================ */
/* Fraunces is loaded via a in each page's (alongside Manrope/
Bricolage) — NOT @import here. An @import creates a render-blocking request
chain (HTML → this CSS → font CSS → font files); the is discovered
up front and fetched in parallel. Keep it in the head, not here. */
