   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Identity: "the price-tag ledger". The mark is a black magnifier with a green
   dollar sign, so the system is built from tag and till-receipt parts: a card
   family, dashed perforation rules, a sticky ink footer, tabular figures, and a
   ink call-to-action that never borrows the green index.
   Palette is derived from the operator's logo sources: a black wordmark and a
   green magnifier mark (green #00953F, darkened for text contrast).
   Fonts are self-hosted in fonts.css (Space Grotesk display / IBM Plex Sans
   body) — no third-party font CSS at runtime, no build step, no CDN.
   Contrast is machine-checked by scripts/check-contrast.py; every text pair in
   this file is >= 4.5:1 (see build/contrast-report.txt).
