  /* ─── LEGACY TOKEN ADAPTER ─────────────────────────────────────
     Remaps the legacy /styles.css custom-property names that engine-
     rendered article components (.score-card, .callout, .product-card,
     .quick-verdict, .data-table, .faq-section, .who-block, .email-*,
     .related-*, .nav, .nav-cta, .breadcrumbs, .footer-* etc.) consume.
     Worker-injected varsity.css loads after /styles.css so these win
     on cascade  - articles inherit the varsity palette without per-file
     edits. Mirrors the RxGrab v3 adapter pattern.
     Added 2026-05-21 (overhaul-permanence audit followup). */

/* ── CHROME REPAIR (2026-08-29) ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * ⛔ THE NAV AND FOOTER WERE AUTHORED FOR A DARK HEADER AND THIS PROPERTY RENDERS ON CREAM.
 *   styles.css sets .nav-brand{color:#f8fafc} with a teal glow, which is a dark-theme value.
 *   varsity.css then redefines the palette to light and styles .nav / .nav-links / .nav-cta but
 *   NOT .nav-brand, so the wordmark kept the dark colour: measured 1.03 against the cream nav,
 *   i.e. the site's own name was invisible on every page.
 *   ⭐ A PARTIAL THEME OVERRIDE IS WORSE THAN NONE. Restyling most of a component and leaving one
 *     selector behind produces a page that looks intentional and hides one element completely.
 * ⛔ The footer had NO measure: full-bleed to 1905px on a 1920px viewport, with list bullets
 *   showing because .footer-links was flexed but never had its list-style removed.
