   recursive-gift.css — shared stylesheet for all phyllotaxis.life pages

   Architecture:
   - Tokens (colors, type, rules) live in :root and are OVERRIDDEN by
     theme files (e.g. theme-default.css). Anything register-specific
     belongs in those files.
   - This stylesheet is theme-agnostic. Every color reference uses a
     var(--token).
   - Plate fade colors and hairline accents are themed via dedicated
     plate-specific tokens so registers can shift them independently of
     core ink/paper.

   NOTE (2026-08-22): the bare `.essay` container rules were removed.
   Nothing in this engine uses class="essay" as a page container — the

   category chip, <span class="r-cat essay">, on the homepage, /essays/ and
   /change-history/. Those chips were inheriting `padding: 56px 40px 120px`
   and `display: grid`, which is what put a band of empty space around every
   essay row in the recent-updates list.

   site.css (the mockup, and the design of record) owns this component as
