-Finance-focused premium AI glass theme. Forked from [`lib-theme-skyrise`](../lib-theme-skyrise/) with four product-driven changes:
+Crystal-clear glass theme. Iridescent multi-hue palette (lavender → peach → cyan → mint) refracted through frosted-glass surfaces.
 
-1. **Bakes in `--warning` + `--warning-foreground`** — finance KPIs need warning semantics out of the box. Pristine had `--success` but no warning; skyrise had both. This theme guarantees them in light and dark.
-2. **Adds a `--text-hero` size step** (`3.5rem`) above `display`, for KPI hero numbers. Exposed as `text-hero` once the consuming app maps it into Tailwind's `@theme inline`.
-3. **Ships a `.num` utility** that sets `font-feature-settings: "tnum","ss01","cv01"`, `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`, and `letter-spacing: 0`. Apply to any element that displays money or counts — never inherit body's negative tracking on digits, never tolerate the ambiguous round-zero glyph in a finance context.
-4. **Redesigned dark-mode background.** Skyrise's dark blobs sat at `L≈0.18` with chroma `≈0.12`, which clipped to muddy gray near OKLCH gamut edges. Here the four corner glows are pushed to `L≈0.30` with lower chroma (`0.06–0.09`), paired with a cleaner near-black base. Reads as soft brand-accent light rather than tinted fog.
+Forked from [`lib-theme-skyrise`](../lib-theme-skyrise/) with four product-driven changes that became theme-wide:

+Born inside [skyai-finance](https://git.sky-ai.com/skyai/skyai-finance) as `lib-theme-skyai-finance` during a craft pass on the finance dashboard. Renamed and extracted once the choices stabilised and a senior-designer review confirmed the system was generalisable beyond finance KPIs.
