  Vortriq Editorial Platform v2
  Rebuilt from zero on 2026-09-20.

  Contract:
  - all visual component selectors are ep-*;
  - Brand Foundation owns identity tokens;
  - no dependency on Terminal Noir, Journey Compare, legacy Editorial CSS,
    commercial-shell mutation, or generic cross-family visual selectors;
  - five explicit variants: core, support, legal, reference, route.
