   Kaptivate — design system
   Headings: Clash Display · Body: Plus Jakarta Sans · Accent: #6334F0

   Two temperaments, one system:
   · dark sections   — taut, fast, low-contrast hairlines, faint grain
   · .band-light     — warm, calm, soft-shadowed panels, generous air
   Micro-interactions are fast (140ms) so the UI feels responsive; entrances
   are slow (700ms) so the page feels composed. Never the other way round.
