/* The Realized Traders. Rebuilt 1 September 2026, second pass.
   Palette is Compass's, so the two sites are one company.
   ink/raise/hairline/text/text-dim/teal/amber match app/globals.css exactly.
   Amber is the action colour and there is ONE per viewport. Teal is never a button.
   A claim takes the serif. A measurement takes the mono. Everything else the sans. */
