/*
 * Teseria tokens — the only colours, fonts and corner radii a block reads.
 *
 * Every name sits under --ts- so it never collides with your app's own variables. Include this file once, or point
 * the names at your theme (e.g. --ts-accent: var(--brand)). Light by default; dark follows [data-theme="dark"] on
 * any ancestor, or the OS setting unless [data-theme="light"] is set.
 *
 *   Surfaces   page → raised (cards, popovers) · sunken (wells, tracks) · tint-1..3 (neutral fills, light to deep)
 *   Text       fg → secondary → tertiary → muted → faint · fg-inverse sits on an fg-coloured fill
 *   Lines      border · edge (the box-shadow a filled surface uses instead of an outline: soft in light, nothing in
 *              dark; composes with other shadows)
 *   Signals    accent · focus · success · warning · danger
 *   Corners    controls are always pills · r-panel (dialogs, sheets, cards) · r-pop (menus, popovers, toasts) · r-inner
 *              (thumbnails, inner cards); a row inside a panel uses the panel radius minus the panel padding
