Full audit across home, search, rankings, admissions, compare, and primary /
secondary / special / no-data school pages, in both themes, measuring computed
styles rather than reading CSS.

Contrast: the status hues were specced against --bg-primary, but they are used
as chip text on their own tint, which sits on cards and secondary surfaces
rather than the page ground. Measured in the wild they were 3.85–4.44:1 —
under AA — on Ofsted badges, delta chips, report-card chips and metric values,
i.e. most of the product's actual signal. Darkened the light hues
(#0e6e66 → #0b625a, #9a5b00 → #7f4a00) and lifted the dark teal
(#3fb3a4 → #4fc0b0) so each clears AA on its own tint, which is the worst case
rather than the easy one. Chart and series ramps follow.

The footer was painting itself with a text token and lettering itself with a
background token: `background: var(--text-primary); color: var(--bg-secondary)`.
That reads correctly in one theme and inverts in the other — in dark mode it
became a light slab at the bottom of a dark page, with amber section headings
at 1.98:1. Added --surface-sunken and its on-* companions, which stay dark in
BOTH themes (deliberately not --surface-inverse, whose whole job is to flip),
and moved the footer onto them. Section headings were also using a status hue
purely as decoration; they are now a muted on-surface token.

The "Open full map" pill was a fixed white background with a themed text
colour, so in dark mode it rendered light violet on white at 1.84:1. Both
sides are token-driven now.

Tabular numerals are now the default for .main rather than per-component
opt-in, with prose opting back out — a handful of figures (miniNatPill,
compareRowVal, factVal) had been missed by the class-name-based pass.

Added a two-theme AA gate over home, rankings and admissions. It waits for
`transition: color` to settle first: an earlier measurement pass read
mid-transition values and reported seven failures that did not exist at rest.
Worth stating plainly — most of what a naive audit flags here is its own
artifact, and the check has to account for that to be worth having.

TudorandClaude Opus 5 8ab0ac0a04 feat(design): adopt the Cohort identity — new palette, type, mark and dark theme

Implements the direction agreed from the identity board: Route C ("Cohort")
with the paper ground from C1, the Schibsted Grotesk / Literata pairing from
C2, and the iris accent from C3. Dark theme is in scope from the start rather
than retrofitted.

The audit found three things wrong beyond taste:

* No brand asset set. og:image was absent entirely, so every link shared into
  a class WhatsApp group rendered as a bare grey card. apple-touch-icon pointed
  at an SVG, which iOS ignores, and the manifest shipped no PNGs, so Android
  installs had no icon. The header mark and the favicon had also drifted into
  two different logos.
* No colour discipline. --primary and --trend-down were the same coral, so the
  main CTA and "below average" shared a hue. 58 distinct hex values were spread
  across component CSS, and the chart palette was still Chart.js's stock demo
  colours.
* A dark theme that was declared but never built — themeColor announced a dark
  variant with no dark styling behind it.

What changed:

Colour now has exactly three jobs that never borrow each other's hues: brand
(iris) for interactive and identity, status (teal/amber) for above/below a
comparison point, and phase for categories. Teal/amber rather than green/red
keeps the above/below signal readable for every form of colour blindness.
Every chromatic literal in component CSS is now a token, and the JS-painted
surfaces (Chart.js, Leaflet) read the tokens through lib/theme so they follow
the theme instead of ignoring it.

The mark is the five-bar cohort spread — the same object as the distribution
strip inside a school row, built from opacity steps so it inverts cleanly.
components/Logo.tsx is the single source; the favicon, apple-icon and share
card all derive from its geometry.

globals.css drops 123 dead global classes left over from the vanilla-JS app
(only the btn family, .skip-link and .main were still referenced), along with
the noise overlay. It also gains prefers-reduced-motion support, which was
missing entirely, and a type scale so the 54 ad-hoc font sizes have somewhere
to converge.

Verified: tsc clean, 159 unit tests pass, production build succeeds and
prerenders /icon.svg, /apple-icon and /opengraph-image. Three e2e journeys
added for the asset set, the themeColor/background match, and the dark theme
actually repainting — all silent failures that nothing on the page reveals.

- Hero: Playfair heading with coral italic accent, teal eyebrow pill,
  richer sub-copy describing both primary and secondary coverage
- Discovery: geolocation "Schools near me" button (reverse-geocodes via
  postcodes.io → /?postcode=…&radius=1), plus Start exploring chips
  linking to /rankings and /compare
- How it works: 3-card grid showing miniature real-UI previews for
  Performance (primary SATs cascade + secondary Att8 bar), Ofsted
  inspection card, and side-by-side Compare table
- Editorial: text column + factbox (totalSchools, LA count, coverage
  dates) rendered inside a white card below the how-it-works section
- Footer: expanded to 3 columns (brand blurb, Product, Resources);
  links updated to / /rankings /compare and real gov.uk/ofsted URLs
- All new sections visible only on landing (no search active)
