/* =====================================================================
   NORTHPOINT — site.css (marketing surface)
   Written from scratch 2026-08-03 to replace the 5,300-line legacy sheet.
   Design language V2: premium/minimal toward resend.com.
   - Serif metallic H1s + CTA bands, Geist gradient H2s, solid-ink H3/H4.
   - Monochrome primary buttons. Aurora (ice-cyan→deep-blue) = commerce
     accent. Amber = warning semantics only. Green = pass.
   - Both themes first-class: dark (near-black) + light (warm paper).
   The legacy sheet lives on ONLY for /portal, /webapp and auth pages
   (public/css/styles.css) — never import it here.
