/* ==========================================================================
   Studio Merlin, Direction 3: Enchanted Forest
   Dusk in a crafted forest. Warm amber light on deep green, storybook-modern.

   THEME: dark theme is LOCKED. There is no light mode on purpose; the whole
   page lives at dusk. color-scheme is set to dark so browser UI matches.

   RADIUS SYSTEM (one rule, used everywhere):
   - Image frames have ARCHED TOPS, like windows and doorways:
       --r-arch       full semicircle top (999px 999px 0 0), portrait frames
       --r-arch-soft  shallow elliptical arch (50% 50% 0 0 / 24% 24% 0 0), landscape frames
   - Cards (bento cells, quotes, FAQ panel): --r-card 18px
   - Buttons and round controls: --r-pill (999px)
