 *
 * Why it matters: custom properties accept any token at declaration time, so an
 * unsupported oklch() only fails later, when var(--ink) is substituted into a
 * real property. That makes the declaration invalid at computed-value time and
 * the colour falls back to inherited/initial — i.e. unreadable text, not a
