/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   n8n Community Weekly Challenge: shared theme
   Built by infra/build-theme.js -- do not edit in n8n, the next build overwrites it.

   DARK since 2026-09-10, following n8n.io itself: a deep purple-black ground with
   a dot grid, near-black cards edged in white at 10%, and the orange-to-red of the
   Get Started button as the one loud colour. The light in-the-loop palette it
   replaces is in git history and only ever swapped token VALUES.

   Geomanist is licensed, so DM Sans stands in: same geometric skeleton.

   nodes with ports, the arrows between them are wires that draw themselves and carry
   a pulse, the avatar wears a spinning ring, the status page is a pipeline lighting
   up step by step. Colour is a coral-rose-violet ribbon used for the shouting, on a
   ground that stays white so a 600-row ledger is still readable after an hour.

   Every rule here is additive over the layer above it. All motion is switched off by
   prefers-reduced-motion at the bottom, and nothing loops on a data surface.
