Follow-up to #7 (which merged with #C42A6C). Per the picked option, the light-mode accent now matches the dark-mode brand pink #E0589A instead of a darkened magenta — vivid and consistent across schemes.

Single-line change: tokens.css light --text-accent#E0589A. Drives the wordmark, eyebrows, tags, and docs links in light mode; fills are unchanged.

Contrast note: #E0589A is ~3.3:1 on white — ideal for the large display wordmark, below WCAG-AA for small labels/links (an accepted brand trade-off). Verified: light wordmark resolves rgb(224,88,154); lockfile unchanged; build green.

Per design choice, light --text-accent matches the dark-mode brand pink
instead of a darkened magenta — vivid and consistent across schemes.
Note: ~3.3:1 on white, so it's ideal for the large display wordmark; small
labels/links trade some contrast for brand fidelity.

Pull request overview

Updates the theme design tokens so light mode uses the same brand pink accent as dark mode, making the accent color consistent across color schemes for accent-as-text uses.

Changes:

  • Set light-mode --text-accent to #E0589A (brand pink) in tokens.css.
  • Adjust the inline comment describing expected contrast/usage implications for --text-accent in light mode.

Superseded by #9, which delivers the brand-pink wordmark via a cleaner split (--display-accent for the wordmark, an AA-safe --text-accent for small labels/links) plus the green-check fix. Closing in favor of #9.
