/* ============================================================================
   THEME 9 — "Warm Community"
   Design system extracted from the provided charity/community concept:
   deep-teal rounded panels on a warm cream canvas, a peach/coral accent,
   big radii, wave dividers, pill buttons, circular icon chips, oval stat pills
   and a frame-breaking testimonial card. Plus Jakarta Sans throughout.

   The accent is fully tokenized (--accent + rgb + computed shades) so the
   brand-color picker can recolor the whole theme with zero stray hex.
