/* ============================================================
   DESIGN PLAN (v2)
   Layout concept: a warm, light technical canvas (not a flat dark
   theme) with a lead-grey nav bar cutting across it, a live pipeline
   diagram as the hero's centerpiece, and one dark "control room"
   panel reserved for the trust/stats moment, so depth and light read
   clearly against a bright ground instead of disappearing into it.
   Color: warm off-white base, three-tone brand orange (bright,
   amber tint, deep rust) for all glow/shadow/accent work, a muted
   violet reserved for the dark panel and background texture only.
   Type: Space Grotesk (display) + IBM Plex Sans (body) + IBM Plex
   Mono (data, labels, stats).
