/*
 * Steppa blog stylesheet — hand-written, standalone, brand-matched.
 *
 * WHY NOT TAILWIND: blog pages are generated by scripts/build-blog.mjs AFTER
 * `vite build` runs, so Tailwind's source scan has already finished and would
 * never see these class names. Plain CSS also means an article renders
 * correctly for crawlers with nothing but this one stylesheet.
 *
 * Tokens mirror src/index.css (@theme). Keep them in sync by hand.
