/* ==========================================================================
   THESIS: A leaked congressional evidence room overtaken by an underground
   political tabloid; it refuses the polite centered book-launch template.
   OWN-WORLD: Black-site fields, bone evidence, signal red, warning orange,
   real photography, registration marks, physical paper and hard offset shadow.
   STORY: Promise becomes pressure, pressure becomes policy, and the visitor
   follows the file toward the people, systems, dispatches, and restricted dossier.
   FIRST VIEWPORT: Colossal Impact lettering collides with surveillance imagery;
   the primary file action remains visible inside the first screen.
   FORM: Typographic manifesto + stacked evidence table + split-screen timeline;
   pinned by the user's brief and the 2026-07-30 composition board.
   The Ironic Ineptocracy — site design system
   Noir / classified-dossier aesthetic. Fraunces (display) + IBM Plex Mono.
   All motion is gated behind prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference.
