/* ==========================================================================
   Quantum Academy — Design System
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Brand rule of thumb: navy is dominant, champagne is an accent only.
   Champagne is reserved for calls-to-action, credential/seal elements,
   dividers, and small emphasis. No large champagne fills. Dark text always
   sits on champagne (never white). Champagne text appears on navy only.
