   Light theme — VDUT-AI brand v2.0 (Navy + Gold on white).

   Linked on every page except the homepage (which carries its own inline
   token block). Loaded AFTER tokens.css / base.css / page.css / vertical.css
   so these overrides win.

   Token NAMES are kept (nothing else has to change): --bone now means Navy,
   --brass/--brass-bright mean Gold.
