   Editorial black & gold on white. Contextual CSS variables: every
   section carries a background class (default white, .bg-alt, .bg-dark,
   .bg-gold, .bg-black-gold) and re-declares --text-primary / --text-muted /
   --heading-color / --heading-fill / --accent-gold / card + button tokens
   for its own subtree, so every heading, link, card and button inside it
   automatically resolves to a contrast-safe color for that background.
