/**
* A person's own reading of the system: type size, density, accent.
*
* Three knobs, and each is ONE multiplier on a whole axis — never a restated
* ramp. The ramps live in `tokens/*.css`, authored once, and each rung carries
* its own `calc( * var(--type-scale, 1))`. So a preference sets three
* numbers and every rung follows, including rungs added later and rungs this
* file has never heard of.
*
* That is not a style choice; it is the fix for a real bug. The first version of
* this module kept its own copy of the type ramp so it could recompute each
* rung, and the copy was WRONG — it had `lg: 1rem` and `xl: 1.125rem` (16px and
* 18px) while `tokens/typography.css` says `0.9375rem` and `1.0625rem` (15px and
* 17px). Setting a preference of 1 — "leave it alone" — would have silently
* resized two rungs of the published design. A second copy of a value is a
* second source of truth, and it drifted before anyone used it.
*
* Because the knobs are plain multipliers, any OTHER ramp can opt in the same
* way. @hanzo/gui compiles its own `--f-size-*` scale for the 1600-odd
* `fontSize="$n"` call sites in the apps; an app that redeclares those as
* `calc( * var(--type-scale, 1))` gets the same control with no change
* at scale 1.
*
* It is a pure function on purpose: it maps a preference to custom properties
* and returns them, touching no document. That is what lets an app, an embedded
* preview and a server render apply it identically.
