/*
 * schoolcompare — "Find the right school. For their future."
 *
 * Implements the schoolcompare brand guideline. Colour has four jobs and they
 * never borrow each other's hues:
 *   brand   (deep teal)  identity, navigation, headings, links, primary buttons
 *   action  (coral)      the one decisive action on a page — search, submit
 *   status  (green /     valence against the England average. Never a CTA.
 *            terracotta)
 *   phase   (desaturated) category chips, deliberately subordinate.
 *
 * Two deviations from the supplied swatches, both forced by contrast, both
 * confined to text and fills. Coral #F97360 carrying a white label measures
 * 2.75:1 where 4.5 is the floor, so --action is a darkened #BE3C27; the
 * original coral survives as --coral for tints, borders and illustration.
 * Mustard #F2C94C is 1.5:1 as text, so --mustard-ink carries any label while
 * --mustard stays exact for fills, rings and badges.
 *
 * Every value below clears WCAG AA on all three light grounds — Warm White,
 * white cards and Sand. Sand is the binding one; several values are a step
 * darker than they would need to be on white alone.

/*
 * Leaflet ships its own palette — a #ddd tile backdrop, #333 attribution text
 * and a #0078A8 link blue that is the most saturated colour anywhere on the
 * site and belongs to no part of this system. Pull the map chrome onto the
 * tokens. This matters most in dark mode, where Leaflet's white attribution
 * bar would otherwise sit on a near-black page.
 *
 * The tiles themselves stay as OSM renders them; only the chrome is ours.
 *
 * Every selector here is prefixed with `html` on purpose. leaflet.css is
 * imported from a client component, so its chunk loads AFTER globals.css; at
 * equal specificity the later sheet wins and these overrides lose silently.
 * The `html` prefix takes them to 0,1,1 so load order stops mattering.
