/* ==========================================================================
   VBK Theme — base shell + commerce presentation system (C22.5)
   RTL-first, Vazirmatn, "Premium Soft SaaS ERP" visual language.

   TOKEN CONSUMPTION (C20 contract):
   --vbk-* aliases map to var(--erp-*, <theme-fallback>).
   - ERP absent   → fallback literals apply (theme default look).
   - ERP present  → plugin's design-tokens.css values resolve.
   - ERP Appearance configured → AppearanceManager inline overrides win.
   Theme never redefines --erp-* itself — it only consumes them.
