/* VARELX Holdings — variant 2.
   Built on the "Slash" reference (brand/reference/DESIGN-2.md): one continuous dark canvas,
   high-contrast serif for headings ≥28px against Inter, pill controls, hairlines instead of
   shadows. Colours re-cut to the brand: deep navy instead of near-black, logo gold instead of
   copper. The gilded gradient appears only in the group-structure and strategy diagrams. */
