   0b. THEME SYSTEM — semantic tokens
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Two themes, switched by a `data-theme` attribute on <html>:
     • LIGHT (default) — white / light-grey content sections
     • DARK            — near-black content sections

   Every component below reads these semantic tokens rather than a raw hex,
   so the entire site re-skins instantly. Brand sections (hero, services,
   contact, footer) are deliberately near-black in BOTH themes — that is the
   identity — which is why they are excluded in section 0c.
