/* simulator2.css — Experience 2 theme layer. Loaded AFTER simulator.css on index2.html
   only, so it inherits the shared layout, topbar, wizard, personas, reasoning, and modal
   styles and adds/overrides just the experience-2 surfaces. Experience 1 never loads this
   file, so these rules can't touch it. Vanilla CSS, no toolchain (5-year horizon), matching
   the base stylesheet. Light ground like the deployed simulator; platform-blue + gold Lux
   identity; navy-on-paper seller frame — three visually distinct worlds.

   PALETTE, realigned 2026-08-25 to the ad-management platform so the two products read as
   one family. Its own custom.css carries #0C7FD4 as the dominant colour, #C8EDFD as the
   light blue and #f5b849 as the amber — and that amber is within a hair of the gold below,
   so the accent needed no change at all and only the blues moved. These tokens are scoped
   to [data-experience="2"], and this file loads on index2.html only, so experience 1 and
   the dashboards keep the violet. --accent is overridden here too (the Lux wordmark in the
   shared topbar reads it); the selector sits on #app, which is a descendant of the <html>
   element app.js writes theme.accent onto, so this wins for the whole exp2 subtree. */
