/* ------------------------------------------------------------
   This file holds all theme styles EXCEPT:
   - CSS variables (see css/tokens.css)
   - Font loading   (see css/fonts.css)
   - @keyframes + prefers-reduced-motion (see css/animations.css)

   Those extractions follow the migration-friendliness checklist
   so a future stack swap (e.g. Sanity + Astro) can port tokens,
   fonts, and animations without unwinding WP-coupled bundles.
