   Vallarium — design system
   Canvas: warm white. Ink: blue-slate from the logo wordmark.
   Gold: sampled from the logo render (champagne, not #d4af37).
   Gold budget: accents, signal lines, emphasis only (<15%).
   Motion: whispers. 160/240ms micro, 600–800ms entrances,
   cubic-bezier(.22,1,.36,1) in / ease-in out. Reduced motion:
   every diagram renders its final state, nothing is lost.
