/* ============================================================
   Editorial Application Shell
   Extends the landing's editorial system (Design D) INTO the app
   with a density gradient: browse (this file, Tier 2) is editorial-
   functional; deeper tiers (dashboard, practice) get progressively
   denser/calmer in later passes.
   Palette + fonts are inherited from landing.css (Cormorant Garamond
   + Inter, cream/navy/red/gold); hex fallbacks included so this file
   is safe on its own.
   SCOPE: `body.ep-app` — toggled in navigation.js showSection() for the
   editorial browse/review tiers (currently examTypesSection + subjectsSection).
   Un-migrated screens never get the class, so they keep the dark theme.
