/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * design-systems/warp/tokens.css
 *
 * Structured token bindings for "Design System Inspired by Warp".
 * Warm dark canvas, near-black like charred wood. Almost monochromatic
 * warm grays. Matter Regular (weight 400) carries every tier — even
 * the 80px hero. Restraint through warmth.
 *
 * Key brand decisions encoded here:
 *   - Warm near-black canvas (#161412) — never cold/blue dark
 *   - Warm Parchment (#faf9f6) text — barely-cream, never pure white
 *   - Earth Gray (#353534) as the brand "accent" — the dark pill CTA
 *     IS the brand signal; no chromatic accent (DESIGN.md §2 forbids)
 *   - Four-tier text system: parchment → ash → stone → muted-purple
 *   - Mist Border (rgba(226, 226, 226, 0.35)) for ghostly containment
 *   - Pill radius reserved for primary CTA; cards stay at 12–14px
 *   - Almost-flat elevation — depth via borders + opacity, not shadow
 *   - Focus ring uses the FG (parchment), not a colored glow — DESIGN.md
 *     "Border brightness increase, no colored rings"
 * ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── */

:root {
  /* ─── Surface ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Deep warm void. Pure black would feel cold; the reddish-earthen
   * undertone (R>G>B, all near 20) makes the canvas feel like charred
   * wood. Surface is bg + a perceptual ~4% lift, matching the
   * "Frosted Veil" rgba(255,255,255,0.04) overlay DESIGN.md describes. */
  --bg: #161412;             /* Deep Void — warm near-black, earth-toned */

  --surface-warm: var(--surface); /* alias — already warm; no separate tier */

  /* ─── Foreground ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Four warm tiers, no cool grays. Parchment is the headline tone —
   * its barely-cream undertone is what makes the dark canvas feel
   * inviting rather than austere. Meta carries Purple-Tint Gray, the
   * underlined-link tone DESIGN.md §2 calls out. */

  /* ─── Border ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Semi-transparent borders create the "ghostly containment" Warp
   * uses instead of shadows. 35% opacity is the canonical value;
   * inner separators alias to the same line — the brand never uses
   * a stronger or weaker tier (monochromatic restraint). */

  /* ─── Accent ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Warp's "accent" is restrained: Earth Gray, the dark pill CTA bg.
   * DESIGN.md §2 explicitly forbids bold accent colors — interactive
   * states are communicated through opacity and underline, never hue.
   * accent-on is Ash Gray (#afaeac), the muted button-text color
   * DESIGN.md §4 specifies for the dark pill. */

   * Warp's marketing site has no surfaced semantic colors — these

   * Matter is the entire system: geometric sans with soft character,
   * approachable in a way most developer-tool fonts are not. Inter
