/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   ESP LOTTERY — stylesheet v0.3.0
   Built on the Rheme house standards (design tokens, glass, aurora mesh,
   shimmer, ambient orbs, blur-in reveal, --ease-lux) with its own identity.

   Identity: indigo void + a violet→cyan→mint "signal spectrum".
   Deliberately shares nothing with Rheme's emerald/gold or Prophetic Finders'
   purple/gold — all three brands must be visually unmistakable from each other.
   Energy lives in the colour and motion; the claims stay sober.
