   Problem: global `a { color: var(--blue) }` (#243090) paints brand-blue
   links onto navy article heroes (#1A2468) at ~1.27:1. Same on-dark
   breadcrumb tokens (#C9CCEC / #9CA1D2) leak onto light grounds
   (provider dashboard) at ~1.5:1.

   Fix: white/near-white text on navy fills; navy links on light breadcrumbs.
   Soft Soft brand hues unchanged. No logo / ribbon / chrome structure edits.
