/* Artoveya's Artist Nook - public site.
   Direction (owner, 2026-10-12, second mockup): painterly - liquid paint splashes, DM Serif Display headlines - in a
   LIGHT and a DARK theme. Restraint pass (owner's review, 2026-10-12): "a beautiful gallery with a rebellious streak,
   not a paint factory". ~80% restrained interface, ~20% colour, and every colour has a job. Warm off-white + deep
   navy (light), deep navy + warm off-white (dark), and THREE accents only: --pink (action: buttons, eyebrows,
   focus), --blue (trust/info: verified), --gold (rank: crown, trophy, #1, the founding badge). Paint lives in the
   two corner accents and the hero; the artwork supplies the rest. Do not add splashes mid-page. Theme = html[data-theme] (set before the
   CSS loads by the inline script in partials/head.php; the media query below covers a browser with no JS).
   The paint (splashes, ribbons) is saturated colour that reads on both themes; the artwork cards are paintings and
   do not theme; the closing landscape takes its sky from the --bn-* variables. */
