/* ============================================================================= TRANS-TEMPORAL EXPRESS — CSS Reference Stylesheet This is a REFERENCE stylesheet showing the developer how to implement the visual design system. It covers: - Design tokens / CSS variables - Cockpit frame layout - Era sign styling - Animation keyframes for all sequences - State-driven transitions - Overlay compositing The developer should integrate these patterns into the existing cockpit.css, adapting to the current DOM structure. ============================================================================= */ /* ─── DESIGN TOKENS ─── */ :root { /* Colors */ --tte-brass: #C4943D;
