/* =====================================================================
   EJL blog layer: the "Feature" post design (Concept C, picked 9 Jul 2026)
   ported 1:1 from EJL/blog-templates-2026-07-09/feature.html, plus the
   matching dark index listing. Loaded ONLY on /blog pages via
   src/components/BlogHead.astro, on top of /_b-system.css.

   Blog-local tokens live on :root here because this sheet never loads
   outside /blog. The one site token the prototype re-declared (--navy-2)
   is renamed --bnavy2 so the shared chrome keeps its own value.
