# CSS Architecture

## File Structure

- **variables.css** — all CSS custom properties (single source of truth for every color/token)
- **common.css** — reset, header/nav, search bar, accessibility utilities (loaded on all pages)
- **main.css** — home page
- **search.css** — search/directory page
- **tfe.css** — individual thesis page
- **apropos.css** — about + licence pages
- **system.css** — admin system dashboard
- **admin.css** — admin section (loaded alongside `common.css` on every admin page)
- **modern-normalize.min.css** — third-party reset (minified, do not edit)

## Rules

- Every color value lives in `variables.css` as a CSS custom property.
- No hardcoded hex, rgb(), or rgba() in any other file.
- All files `@import url("./variables.css")` at the top.
- Admin and public share the same token names — no separate admin theme.
- No dark-mode media query. System page uses the same light tokens as the rest of the admin section.
