/* ============================================================
   Saylor & Co. Leadership — "The Descent" v3
   Opens white/black/gold (sober). Glyphs begin to fall; the world
   walks paper → warm → fog → slate → dusk → ink across a long
   scroll. Green exists ONLY in the deep world (dusk/ink).
   GOLD owns money/trust surfaces in every world.
