-## Design Philosophy
-
-The theme is built on a simple principle: use CSS Grid exclusively for layout. This means:
-
-- **Grid only** - No flexbox for layouts (flexbox is for UI components)
-- **Explicit contracts** - Grid areas and templates are clearly defined
-- **Minimal abstraction** - No utility classes, no hidden behaviors
-- **Maintainable** - One base theme, one beamer override
