   Xeriscaping.com — brand.css  (v1.0.0)
   SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for design tokens + shared site chrome
   (header, nav, footer, buttons, cards, tool CTAs) used by BOTH:
     • the Next.js app  → served at https://xeriscaping.com/fonts/brand.css
     • the Ghost theme  → copied to assets/css/brand.css by
                          scripts/sync-brand-to-theme.sh (never edit the copy)
   All sizes are px/clamp (Ghost root is 62.5%, app root is 100%).
   Contrast: every text/bg pairing below passes WCAG AA.
