   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   THEME-VAR CONTRACT
   The chassis below is authored ONCE and never re-touched per vertical.
   A "vertical theme" supplies ONLY the FLEX :root variables (the --t-* tokens
   listed under "THEME TOKEN CONTRACT" inside the page <head> :root override).
   Swap that one object => a fully distinct, on-brand page. The chassis inherits
   every LOCKED --ikonx-* token verbatim and reads --t-* for all accent / gradient
   / bloom / substrate surfaces so themes swap cleanly with zero structural change.
