/**
 * ==============================================================================
 * TOWARDS MY BHARAT (TMB) — MASTER DESIGN SYSTEM & COMPONENT STYLESHEET
 * ==============================================================================
 *
 * ARCHITECTURAL ROLE:
 * - Serves as the central CSS design system for the entire web platform.
 * - Powers `index.html`, `blog.html`, `all-blogs.html`, and provides shared base
 *   tokens consumed by `about.css`.
 *
 * DESIGN SYSTEM FOUNDATIONS:
 * 1. Semantic Color Tokens:
 *    - All colors are declared as CSS Custom Properties (variables) in `:root`.
 *    - Primary Palette: Earthy Indian forest greens (`#2E5D3A`), soft herbal sage
 *      accents (`#A7C957`), and calming organic light canvases (`#F6FAF4`).
 * 2. Theme Modes (Light & Dark):
 *    - Light Mode (Default `:root`): Clean, high-legibility parchment green aesthetic.
 *    - Dark Mode (`html[data-theme="dark"]`): Deep luxury forest obsidian (`#111A14`),
 *      soft luminescence, and muted green borders (`#344B38`).
 * 3. Typography Hierarchy:
 *    - Serif: 'Cormorant Garamond' (Classical, civilizational, literary elegance).
 *    - Sans-Serif: 'Manrope' (Contemporary, crisp, highly legible editorial body).
 * 4. Motion Curves:
 *    - Standardized cubic-bezier easing `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` provides
 *      deliberate, high-end deceleration (similar to Apple iOS / macOS physics).
 *
 * RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
 * - `theme.js`: Dynamically switches between `:root` (light) and `html[data-theme="dark"]`.
 * - `script.js`: Applies interactive states (`.is-active`, `.is-open`, transforms).
 * - `about.css`: Inherits typography and brand color tokens while layering dedicated
 *   sticky story card stacking rules.
 *
 * KEY CONCEPTS & TERMINOLOGY FOR ONBOARDING DEVELOPERS:
 * - Design Tokens: Reusable key-value pairs (`--color-primary`, `--space-md`) that enforce
 *   visual consistency across all pages and components.
 * - Backwards-Compatibility Aliases: Legacy variable names (e.g. `--bg-obsidian`, `--primary-gold`)
 *   mapped directly to semantic tokens to avoid breaking legacy templates.
 * - Smooth Scrolling: `scroll-behavior: smooth` provides animated scrolling for anchor jumps.
