/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * design-systems/wise/tokens.css
 *
 * Structured token bindings for "Design System Inspired by Wise".
 * Money without borders: bright spring-green CTAs on warm-neutral canvas,
 * billboard Wise Sans at weight 900 with 0.85 line-height, pill buttons,
 * ring-only shadows, and "calt" everywhere.
 *
 * Key brand decisions encoded here:
 *   - Wise Green (#9fe870) as the only accent; Dark Green (#163300) as
 *     --accent-on — green-on-green CTA is THE Wise signature, not white.
 *   - Pastel Green (#cdffad) for hover — lighter, contrast-up, not darker.
 *   - Near-Black with warm green undertone (#0e0f0c), never pure #000.
 *   - Inter weight 600 as body default — confident, not light. Wise Sans
 *     weight 900 for display, line-height 0.85, letter-spacing normal.
 *   - Ring-only elevation: rgba(14,15,12,0.12) 1px ring; no traditional
 *     drop shadows anywhere. Depth comes from green-on-neutral contrast.
 *   - Pill buttons (9999px); cards span 16px → 30px → 40px radius tiers.
 *   - 18px body baseline (not 16px) — Wise reads bigger than typical UI.
