/* ============================================================================
   DIARY — nickjayala.com in thediary.com's visual language (Oct 25 2026)
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Nick asked for the layout, styling, graphics and colors of thediary.com.
   What that site actually does:
     - pure black ground, white type, no colored accent at all
     - one bold geometric sans (Montserrat 700/800) for headlines, Inter for body
     - a full-bleed cinematic photo hero with a dark fade and an all-caps line
     - white pill buttons with black text, uppercase, tracked
     - WHITE rounded cards with black text sitting on the black ground
     - a huge scrolling all-caps name band
     - gold stars as the only color
   This file replaces polish.css (the papaya glow). Copy, order, links and
   tracking are untouched. Swap the <link> back to polish.css to revert.
