# Throwaway prototype for #53 — palette candidates on a dense page

Not for merge. The theme SCSS on this branch is mechanically tokenised (literal
hexes and `rgba()` triples turned into `var(--wg-*)`) so a candidate palette can
be swapped at runtime instead of rebuilt per candidate.

- `contrast.py` — WCAG check for every candidate surface/ink pair. Run first.
- `_base-plumnoir.css` + `candidate-{a,b,c}.css` — the candidates, as `:root` overrides.
- `seed.js` — categories + one 13-post topic with a quote, over the REST API.
- `shots.js` / `probe.js` — screenshots and a computed-style probe, both against the live stack.
- `shots/` — the images the resolution is judged on.
