       POST CHARTS
       Figures inside a post body. Two data colours only, both
       validated against the post surface (--warm-white #fff9f0):
         --viz-far  #7aa3c9  2.54:1 — the lighter step (state level)
         --viz-near #1a2f4a 12.95:1 — the darker step (district level)
       They are one hue at two steps, so the pair reads as one measure
       at two altitudes rather than as two unrelated series. --viz-far
       sits under 3:1, which is allowed only because every endpoint
       carries a visible value label AND each figure ships a table view.
       Remove either and the light dot stops being readable.
       --viz-ctx (#8c8574, 3.51:1) is the de-emphasis grey: it clears
       3:1 on its own so context bars never depend on the relief rule.
       Gold is deliberately absent — at 2.18:1 it cannot carry a mark.
