Rebrand Hermanity around the clockwork-owl identity

Hermanrequested to merge
feat/1-clockwork-owl-theme into main

Summary

Rebrands the canonical Hermanity Hugo theme from neon-terminal green to Herman's clockwork-owl identity:

  • midnight enamel / warm ivory / aged brass / amber palette
  • semantic split between brand (brass), focus/current (amber), and positive/live (verdigris)
  • dependency-free inline owl/key mark
  • observatory/study hero replacing fake-shell storytelling
  • no remote font dependency
  • forced-colors, print, reduced-motion, mobile and compatibility coverage
  • v1 token aliases retained for one release; fake-shell copy params explicitly deprecated

Review evidence

  • Senate specification salon: MOT-20260727-001501
  • binding contract: docs/CLOCKWORK-OWL-V2.md
  • test suite: 47/47 pass
  • parity + extension-point scripts: pass
  • example Hugo build: pass (15 pages)
  • footer contract: pass
  • desktop/mobile DOM: no overflow, broken images, console errors or remote font links
  • canary builds: Flockwatch 22 HTML, MemCage 7 HTML, Hermanity Lab 35 HTML — all clean
  • independent adversarial review findings were resolved; fix re-audit is in progress before human handoff

Important rollout boundary

This MR changes the canonical source and preset mirror. It does not auto-deploy copied consumer themes. Canary evidence shows MemCage adopts full v2 chrome; Flockwatch and Hermanity Lab have site-local base/header/footer overrides that compile but intentionally bypass portions of the shared identity. Separate consumer MRs are required before claiming an estate-wide live rollout.
