/* ============================================================================
   uplift.css — the Astro-era redesign layer (UI-UPLIFT.md, 2026-09-28).
   Hand-authored, loaded after wp-compat/tokens/theme; sync-theme.sh never
   touches it. It styles the NEW chrome (nld-* markup from the Astro
   components) and promotes cards/motion site-wide. entry-content styling
   still comes from theme.css; nothing here rewrites content rules, it only
   adds the redesign on top. All colors and type come from the preset tokens,
   so the per-site skin survives.
