/* Dhruv Markets — site.css v1.0.0 (2026-08-12)
 * Language: near-black page, opaque cool silver ink ramp, ONE blue accent, sharp edges.
 * No glow anywhere: zero box-shadow with blur, zero radial-gradient, zero text-shadow,
 * zero filter. Depth is carried by 1px hairlines, never by a surface step alone.
 * Progressive enhancement: every animation initial state is set in site.js at RUNTIME,
 * never here. A no-JS render must show the finished page with all hairlines drawn.
