   The Meridian Awards 2026 — style.css
   Dark, glassy, particle-driven. Palette: near-black / warm gold / cool off-white.

   Motion contract: every animated rule keys off html[data-motion="full"|"calm"],
   never the bare prefers-reduced-motion media query. Calm is a *variant*, not an
   off switch — travel shrinks, blur and parallax go, everything still breathes.
