   article.css  ·  handle: ibh-article  (enqueued AFTER the main stylesheet)
   Reading experience + interior/archive/search/404 templates.
   Global tokens (:root) and body base are defined by the main theme
   stylesheet. We only REFERENCE the variables here, never redefine them.

   Token reference (defined globally):
     --obsidian #05070F  --deep #0A1230  --navy #16247A
     --bone #EDEBE4  --bone-dim #9A99A6  --ember #E5252C
     --ember-glow #FF4046  --hairline rgba(237,235,228,.12)
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Body-copy contrast note: --bone-dim (#9A99A6) on --obsidian is fine
   for de-emphasized meta, but fails WCAG-AA for long-form reading. Body
   copy is therefore set on a brightened bone-leaning ink (--ibh-ink)
   which clears AA against the obsidian reading surface.
