   NORTHPULSE · DESIGN SYSTEM
   Single stylesheet — consolidates style.css + premium.css + nav-override.css
   Aesthetic: deep-space dark UI, hairline structure, serif display signature,
   restrained electric-blue accents. Inspired by Linear / Vercel / Stripe rigor,
   kept on NorthPulse's existing "operational signal" identity.

   ⚠️ Hooks consumed by JS are preserved verbatim:
   main.js   → #bg-canvas, #cursor, #cursor-ring, .reveal, .nav-links a
   i18n.js   → .nav-right, #nav-book-cta, .nav-links li a, #np-lang-selector,
               .np-lang-btn, #footer-copy, [data-i18n]
   cookies.js→ #cookie-banner, #cookie-modal, #cookie-icon, #ck-analytics,
               #ck-marketing
   chatbot.js→ #np-btn (Pulsie) — only cosmetic polish here
