   www.andrewamacgregor.com

   Design law: style_guide_minimalism.md §2 tokens + §9 Motion Amendments
   v1.1/v1.2 — the locked v4 "Drafting Table" depth vocabulary (operator
   direction-lock 20260706MO; story-card tilt ≤4.5°/axis). Ported verbatim
   from the LOCKED concept 00_Project_Center/02_Design/BIO_concept_v4_depth_L4_20260706MO/
   and extended (Speaking / Media Kit / downloads) inside the SAME vocabulary
   — no new hue, no new font, no third shadow, one red per viewport.

   PALETTE: only style-guide hexes (+ alphas). The ONE red is the Sling-Shot
   CTA to A3; --ink is never darkened toward #000.
