+   @unom/ui reads `--secondary` as muted TEXT (its own theme sets a mid-grey, used
+   for EmptyState captions, badge text, table headers); this palette — like the
+   console's — uses `--secondary` as a dark SURFACE (`bg-secondary`). Tailwind
+   derives both utilities from the same `--color-secondary`, so the text lane has
+   to be re-pointed here or every caption renders dark-on-dark. Unlayered on
+   purpose: unlayered rules beat Tailwind's layered utility of equal specificity. */
