/* VerifiedCrude document dialect: shared by every long-form content page.
 *
 * WHY THIS FILE EXISTS
 * score.html, brief.html, audit.html and shadow-pilot.html each inline their own copy of the
 * same tokens, with the comment "tokens identical to /score" carrying the promise by hand.
 * That is the same failure vc-visit.js was created to end: four copies, no mechanism, and
 * nothing to stop the fifth from drifting. Content pages share this file instead.
 *
 * SCOPE
 * Reading pages: guides, case studies, glossary. The conversion pages (/score, /shadow-pilot)
 * keep their inlined tokens; they are forms, not documents, and rewriting them is not this
 * change. The token VALUES here are copied from shadow-pilot.html verbatim so the two dialects
 * cannot disagree about what amber is.
 *
 * The type is tuned for reading where the conversion pages are tuned for scanning: longer
 * measure, taller line-height, larger body size. Same voice, different room.
