   Confinea DESIGN SYSTEM
   A "verified financial instrument" visual language: treasury navy,
   struck gold, and warm document paper. Every numeral on the site
   (prices, stats, reference codes, step counters, pagination) sets in
   the ledger mono face; every card carries a registration corner mark,
   like a stamped, serial-numbered certificate. Dark "vault" surfaces
   (header, footer, dark panels) share a faint engine-turned hairline
   texture, the way a banknote or bond certificate is engraved.

   SIGNATURE LAYER — "the verified instrument"
   Three coherent moves, applied site-wide without touching markup:
   1. Engine-turned hairline texture on every vault-navy surface.
   2. A struck-gold registration corner mark on every card/panel —
      every listing, every form section, every panel reads as a
      verified, serial-numbered document.
   3. One typographic rule: every numeral on the site — prices, stats,
      reference codes, step counters, pagination — sets in the ledger
      mono face. Words stay serif/sans; numbers always read as data.

   04  Registration corner-marks that "focus" the frame on hover
   05  Embossed wax-seal treatment on every circular seal
   06  Guarantee split-bar that draws itself in on scroll
   07  Gold trust-stamp + cinematic scrim on offer photography
   08  Sticky header that gains depth as you scroll (CSS scroll timeline)
   09  Ledger-tape scroll-progress strip across the top
   10  Scroll-reveal rise for cards, rows and tiles (CSS view timeline)
   11  Light-sweep sheen across every primary action button
   12  Fluid, balanced, optically-tuned typography
   13  Focus-glow + lift on form fields; custom select caret
   14  Animated underlines + accents on links, nav, bank rows, quick-links

      cascade in on a tight stagger (~0.9s total, never sluggish).
   2. AMBIENT — a slow guilloché glint orbits the seal, and every ~11s
      a faint band of light sweeps across the whole plate, the way
      light passes over a banknote.
   3. TOUCH — nav items grow struck-gold registration corner marks on
      hover; the seal brightens and tilts like a press being inspected.
   4. SCROLL — the plate condenses (padding + seal size) as the page
      scrolls, deepening the existing shadow. Progressive enhancement.
   All motion is transform/opacity (plus one tiny padding condense),
   fully disabled under prefers-reduced-motion.

   The bars stop being "styled navigation" and become the two engraved
   edges of the banknote:
   HEADER — a lit vault plate: gold lamp-glow behind the seal, a
     counter-rotating guilloché tick-ring, a milled coin-edge strip
     drifting along its bottom, and a hairline that keeps catching
     light after it is engraved.
   FOOTER — the reverse of the note: a slow-turning watermark rosette,
     a traveling gold hairline on its top edge, ledger-tick links,
     minted icon chips, and columns that rise into view.
   All decorative motion is transform/opacity/background-position,
   pointer-events:none, and fully silenced under reduced motion.

   • Each card is deliberately quiet: location chip on the photo, one
