/* ============================================================
   MERIDIAN — application surface
   The access-request instrument.

   Shares the gateway atmosphere with login.html but uses a
   different motion vocabulary:
     · a slowly counter-rotating aperture field (canvas)
     · a protocol spine that grows and lights as fields complete
     · a completion ring driven by real form state
     · per-field capacity bars
     · a submit seal that arms after the anti-bot delay

   Depends on tokens from main.css.
