/* ============================================================
   Cadence · Spacing & Layout
   "An 8pt grid, generously spent."
   Every value is a multiple of 8 (with 4 for tight pairings).
   Cadence runs on the looser end of comfortable — calm breathing
   room, never cramped. White space is the primary tool for
   feeling measured and unhurried.
