/* Catflix — littlemonsters.tv
   Palette decision (little-monsters-ceo, 2026-08-25): Catflix runs its own cinema
   palette (black + antique gold) rather than inheriting the shop's lime. Shared
   typeface (Rubik) carries the sibling relationship. LM lime appears exactly twice:
   the footer studio lockup and the shop-out CTA. See PALETTE-DECISION.md. */
