   MERIDIAN PATH — CENTRAL STYLESHEET
   Shared by every page (index, destinations, services,
   stories, news, faq, about, contact). One file, one place
   to reskin or restyle the whole site.

   THEME TOKENS: all color live in :root + html[data-theme=x]
   overrides further down. Component CSS below only ever
   references the variable names — never a raw hex — so a
   new theme is just a new override block.
