## Everything is a custom property

Colours read from `--ccb-*` variables with sensible light-theme defaults. Set `--ccb-primary`
on `:root` and the cards, links, and filter buttons all follow.

## Scoped by default

Every class is namespaced `ccb-`, and the post body is scoped under `.ccb-prose`, so nothing
here leaks into the rest of your site.
