/* -- SITE THEME OVERRIDES -----------------------------------
   Studio exports an inline <style> block that hardcodes body
   background, overlay opacity, and glass panels. These rules
   override Studio's values so all articles match site theme.
   background-image is set by injectTokens() via JS — the body
   background-color shorthand must not override it, so we force
   background-color only and let injectTokens set the image.
