/* NoticeCopilot design system. Direction: a calm, paper-and-ink document aesthetic. Serif display for headings (legal-document gravitas), system sans for reading, a single deep ink-blue accent, warm hairline rules instead of boxes and shadows. LIGHT IS THE DEFAULT FOR EVERYONE, regardless of system preference (owner direction 2026-07-11). Dark exists only as an explicit opt-in: the footer toggle sets a cookie and the layout adds .theme-dark on . There is deliberately no prefers-color-scheme auto-switch. No JavaScript anywhere. */ :root { --paper: #fcfbf8; --surface: #ffffff; --ink: #23292f; --muted: #5d6a76; --rule: #e8e3d7; --rule-strong: #cfc8b6; --accent: #1f4f74; --accent-strong: #163a57; --accent-wash: #eff4f8;
