1. Candy-bright category icon plates — the loudest spell-breaker. Untuned ACP category colors (default orange/red/green) came through nearly raw. The plates now get a translucent plum wash plus a stronger desaturation clamp, so any admin-picked color lands in the velvet register while keeping its per-category hue. This hardens production against future un-tuned categories too, without overriding the documented ACP-color mechanism.
2. Groups page showed the stock gray-triangle covers — the existing velvet override only matched .cover, but the groups list renders .list-cover. Extended the selector; group cards now wear the plum velvet material.
3. 404 page showed a beige dog icon — replaced (CSS mask, no template override) with the existing cowled.svg game icon in old gilt. The lost-page screen now reads as a hooded figure in Westgate rather than stock NodeBB.
4. Token drift — three literal copies of the etched-highlight color now use the existing --wg-etched-highlight token, and a dead transform entry was dropped from the category card transition.
