// VELOCITY COMPONENT · theming
//
// Colours here are Tailwind `primary-*` / `accent-*`, which resolve through
// the Velocity preset. Out of the box they are a neutral indigo — NOT the
// Aidxn brand — so this drops into your project without dragging our look in.
//
// ⚡ NOT USING VELOCITY? Run this once, in your project root:
//
// velocityx theme
//
// It writes velocity-preset.cjs + velocity-theme.css. Add the preset to your
// tailwind.config, import the css, then set your whole brand in ONE place:
//
// :root {
// --vx-brand: custom;
// --vx-primary-600: 220 38 38; <- your action colour
// --vx-primary-700: 185 28 28;
// }
//
// ⚠️ Raw RGB channels, space separated — NOT hex. `#DC2626` here silently
// breaks every /opacity variant in the library (bg-primary-600/20 etc).
//
// Prefer not to install anything? Find-and-replace `primary-` with your own
// scale name. Nothing else in this file depends on Velocity.
/**
* Stack — Vertical rhythm primitive. Every direct child gets equal spacing
* via `gap` (flex column) — never margin-stacking, which breaks the moment
* someone reorders children or the first/last child needs to sit flush.
*
* `space` is a Tailwind spacing step (number), `align` controls cross-axis
* alignment (useful for a stack of differently-sized buttons/badges that
* should hug one edge or centre).

Theming
Uses the shared primary-* / accent-* scale — see Theming if colours look unstyled after install.
