/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * design-systems/spacex/tokens.css
 *
 * Structured token bindings for "Design System Inspired by SpaceX".
 * Cinematic aerospace minimalism: pure black canvas, full-viewport
 * photography, D-DIN industrial type, universal uppercase + positive
 * tracking, zero shadows / cards / decoration. The interface disappears
 * behind the imagery — only type, photography, and a single ghost button.
 *
 * Key brand decisions encoded here:
 *   - Pure Space Black (#000000) — the void of space; never a soft black
 *   - Spectral White (#f0f0fa) — slight blue-violet tint that mimics starlight
 *   - --surface aliases to --bg — SpaceX has NO cards, panels, or containers
 *   - Ghost border (rgba(240,240,250,0.35)) — only visible interactive edge
 *   - D-DIN industrial typeface — DIN heritage, stenciled aerospace voice
 *   - Display tracking 0.02em (= 0.96px at 48px) — DESIGN.md §3 verbatim
 *   - Tight leading 1.0 — compressed mission-briefing rhythm
 *   - --elev-raised: none — zero shadows; depth comes from photography
 *   - --radius-pill: 32px — the ghost button is the SOLE rounded element
 * ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── */

  /* ─── Surface ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * The void of space. There is no card tier, no warm tier — every
   * SpaceX section is text-on-photograph, not text-on-surface. We
   * still declare --surface so cross-brand components that paint a
   * card still resolve, but it deliberately matches --bg. */
  --bg: #000000;             /* Space Black — pure void, the foundation canvas */
  --surface: #000000;        /* No card surfaces — content sits directly on the void */
  --surface-warm: var(--surface); /* alias — no warm tier in an achromatic system */

  /* ─── Foreground ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Spectral White, never pure white. The slight blue-violet tint
   * mimics starlight on a spacecraft hull and prevents the clinical
   * feel of #ffffff against pure black. */

  --fg-2: var(--fg);         /* alias — single text weight throughout the system */
  --muted: rgba(240, 240, 250, 0.7); /* Dimmed spectral — captions, secondary labels */
  --meta: var(--muted);      /* alias — tertiary FG identical to muted on dark canvas */

  /* ─── Border ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * The Ghost Border (35% spectral) is the only edge that ever
   * appears — on the lone ghost CTA button. Inner separators borrow
   * the 10% spectral surface tint so they barely register. */

  /* ─── Accent ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * SpaceX has no chromatic accent — Spectral White IS the accent.
   * Hover lifts to pure white (Hover White / --white-100 in DESIGN.md);
   * active gently dims. The full ghost-button affordance is
   * implemented in components, not in the accent token. */

  --accent-active: #d8d8e6;  /* Dimmed spectral — pressed state */

  /* ─── Semantic ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   * Schema defaults preserved. SpaceX's homepage is purely
   * presentational and almost never surfaces semantic state, but the
   * tokens must resolve when shared components reference them. */

   * DESIGN.md §6: "SpaceX uses ZERO shadows." Every surface is
