/* The North China Times — one stylesheet.
   Identity: "Newsprint and Blue Pencil" (video/style/palette.md, type.md — the same guide the Remotion graphics follow).
   White newsprint and black ink; one signature colour, the editor's blue pencil; Newsreader for the paper's voice,
   Anton for the big numbers and section names, Courier Prime for kickers, datelines, credits and labels.
   Older browsers: no :has, no flex gap on layout-critical rows, clamp() always after a fixed fallback, aspect ratios
   with padding. No pills, no soft-shadowed cards: rules, columns and type do the work, as on a printed page. */
