/* ============================================================
   Legal252 — Design System (minimal / quiet-luxury)
   Ivory paper + deep ink navy + a sparingly-used matte brass accent.
   Hairline borders instead of blocks of colour, restrained type,
   generous whitespace. Built for an international, English-speaking
   audience that reads "minimal" as "trustworthy" rather than
   "unfinished". Stock "gavel/scales" imagery is deliberately avoided;
   abstract line-art SVG motifs are used instead (see
   scripts/build.py::hero_svg).
