/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * design-systems/canva/tokens.css
 *
 * Structured token bindings for "Design System Inspired by Canva".
 * Consumer-friendly design platform: white canvas, vivid purple→cyan
 * gradient, generously rounded geometry, weight-driven hierarchy.
 *
 * Key brand decisions encoded here:
 *   - Pure white canvas (#ffffff) — Canva looks inviting, never tinted
 *   - Canva Purple (#7d2ae8) as the single accent — gradient origin
 *   - Four ink tiers (#0e1318 → #3c4043 → #5f6368 → #9aa0a6) — weight
 *     contrast and ink-tier contrast carry hierarchy together
 *   - 12px card / 8px button radii — soft, friendly, never sharp
 *   - Cool soft shadows (rgba(0,0,0,0.06)) — never warm-tinted
 *   - Compressed type scale (14px body, 18px H3, 64px hero) — cards
 *     and templates must read at thumbnail scale
 *   - Material-style easing (0.4,0,0.2,1) at 180ms — friendly micro-lift

  /* ─── Surface ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * White canvas with cool-gray subtle break. Canva never tints its
   * neutral surfaces — the purple/cyan gradient is the only colored
   * brand moment on an otherwise calm white page. */
  --bg: #ffffff;             /* Canvas — the primary white background */
  --surface: #f4f5f7;        /* Surface Subtle — section break, sidebar */
  --surface-warm: var(--surface); /* alias — Canva has no warm tier; palette is cool-neutral */

  /* ─── Foreground ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Four-tier ink stack from DESIGN.md §2: Primary → Secondary →
   * Muted → Faint. Each tier is materially distinct so weight + tier
   * together carry hierarchy (the palette stays neutral). */

  /* ─── Border ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Cool-gray hairlines. Canva uses two visible border tiers
   * (Default + Strong on hover); --border-soft has no distinct value
   * in DESIGN.md, so it aliases to keep the schema satisfied without
   * inventing a tier the brand does not specify. */

   * Canva Purple — the gradient origin. The full purple→cyan gradient
   * lives in component CSS as a linear-gradient(135deg, ...) on hero
   * CTAs and Pro/Magic moments; the token itself is the solid purple
   * used as the always-resolvable single-value accent. */

   * (Magic Studio), so destructive feedback inherits brand warmth. */
