v2 was 'harbor backdrop everywhere + glass cards', but the approved
mockups at _design/atmospheric-redesign/ use solid navy with subtle
gradient, harbor selectively (theme swatches, frame heroes), left
side rail at desktop, and editorial Marcellus/Cormorant typography.
This rewrite:
- Drops the full-page harbor backdrop; body is now solid navy with
a single radial gradient highlight
- Loads Marcellus, Cormorant Garamond, DM Mono via Google Fonts
- Editorial type recipes: h1/h2/h3 + frame card name + settings title
use Marcellus. settings__hint becomes italic Cormorant. Section
labels become DM Mono caps with 0.28em letterspacing
- TopNav restyled at desktop (≥960px) into a left-fixed side rail:
240px wide, vertical stack of nav items, active item shows inset
yellow rule + surface bg. Body gets 240px padding-left to shift
content right.
- Theme swatches reuse the harbor.jpg inside their preview area,
tinted to each dusk's color — matches the mockup exactly
- Per-dusk surface colors made opaque (was rgba 0.55) so cards are
fully readable

Iteration after the atmospheric-redesign checkpoint. The earlier A/B/C/D
favicon set was scrapped — generic invented icons (roof, frame+horizon,
skyline, wax seal) that didn't tie to the brand's own glyph. New direction:
the yellow V from the wordmark, presented four ways. V-viewfinder (a V cut
out of navy showing the harbor photo inside) is the chosen path; refinement
3b crops to Camogli's coloured row-houses for a more brand-specific small
size reading.
Also adds three logo-placement mockups (PWA cold-launch splash, library
hero with the full wordmark logo, settings → about page) to give the
wordmark room to live beyond emails and login badges.
Self-contained: assets/ and spa/ copied into the design folder so the
mockups render without depending on neighbouring directories.
