/* ============================================================
   1. DESIGN TOKENS — "FLOODLIGHT"
   Stadium-night base. Orange (logo) = brand. Amber = floodlight
   glow that orange fades into. Electric cyan = streaming, live
   scores, countdowns. Live red = LIVE / trending / urgency.
   Legacy token names (--red, --green, --chili) are kept as
   aliases so older templates and inline styles keep working.
