/* ==========================================================================
   AMBER CACTUS PARADE — desert editing-bay design system
   Direction: a warm umber edit suite at dusk. Timeline motifs instead of film
   slates: track labels (V1 / A1), clip-bar micro-labels, a playhead running
   through the hero, and a vertical "sequence" rail for the step list.
   Palette: amber, terracotta and saguaro sage on dark umber; sand bands for
   the header and footer so the wordmark reads without a chip behind it.
   Fonts: Syne (display) / Nunito Sans (body) / system mono (timecode)
