/* ==========================================================================
   rwrds — Orange-forward production theme  (web/assets/theme.css)
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Reusable design system for every rwrds page. Ported from the winning
   "concept-4-orange-forward" design lab concept and generalized for reuse.

   The system alternates two full-width "rooms":
     • Orange rooms  — coral->amber canvas bands, dark espresso ink (brand beats)
     • Dark rooms    — warm espresso, the workmanlike middle + the money

   Conventions / AI "tells" deliberately avoided:
     • Display face = Bricolage Grotesque (never plain Inter)
     • Buttons use solid fill + inner sheen + grounded shadow, NEVER an outer
       amber glow halo. Lighting comes from radial layers BEHIND elements.
     • Mono (IBM Plex Mono) is for real figures only — never eyebrows/buttons.
     • Mint (--mint) is RESERVED for money, and never sits on orange.
     • No pure #000 (espresso #1A1512 base), no purple.

   See THEME.md for the full token + class API.

   list reads as a single lit panel whose warmth deepens as you move down it —
   bright golden amber at step 01, resolving to a deeper coral at step 03. The
   three rows are NOT independent tiers; each row's bottom color equals the next
   row's top color, so they compose into one continuous near-vertical (180deg)
   gradient with no seam or flat row. The instruction flow naturally darkens as
   you read top→bottom. The darkest endpoint is capped at --coral-2 so dark body
   ink (--on-orange-soft) stays AA-legible on every row (never light on orange).
   The section keeps its `.warm-ramp warm-1` global scroll-warming behind it.

   The stretch of dark rooms between the "AI for the People" orange beat and

   step the coral intensity up so scrolling feels like a gradual warm-up that
   resolves into the orange CTA. Rooms stay espresso-dark (light ink keeps AA;
   the money room stays dark enough that mint money still reads — never an
   orange band). Each step's bottom tint matches the next step's top tint, so
   the gradient flows continuously from one section into the next.
