   ALPHA DESIGN TOKENS — the ONE source for the whole system's look.
   Consumed today by the admin portal; the public site and social templates
   adopt the same file in their own reviewed parts (§2: everything in sync).
   Direction (founder, 2026-08-06, RonDesignLab references): dark cinematic
   graphite, frosted-glass cards, glow instead of borders, mono data + sans UI,
   restrained accents. Core accent stays ALPHA BLUE (trust + continuity).

     translucent enough to show the scene through it, saturated blur so the
