/* ─── /lore styles ────────────────────────────────────────────────
   Adapted from the V2 "Transmission" design demo. All rules are
   scoped under .lore-page so they cannot leak. Demo's tx2v2- class
   prefix renamed to lore- here; cross-reference is one find/replace.

   Demo design tokens (Cinzel / Garamond / JetBrains Mono and
   --ink / --ink-2 / --ink-3 / --ink-4) are mapped to site tokens.
   Important: --lore-ink-4 must be a SOLID dim grey, not a transparent
   overlay - it's used for small labels and rail ticks where opacity
   stacking blows out legibility against the dark background.
