/* ============================================================
   WRITEAMP v2.1, "Paper & Ink"
   Concept: the whole page behaves like a text field.
   - Warm paper canvas, Night Ink carries all structural weight
   - Green is SEMANTIC ONLY: it appears exclusively where
     something is "accepted" (checks, prices, confirmed states)
   - Ghost gray + caret is the recurring brand device
   Tokens are shared with echoflow-website/assets/paper-ink.css;
   this file is the source of truth.
