Iowan Old Style/Palatino serif font, Gruvbox blue accent (#076678),
and matching code syntax theme in both light and dark modes.

- Surface tokens: cold zinc grays → warm stone (#faf8f5 to #0f0e0d)
- Accent tokens: cold teal → warm amber (#fffbeb to #451a03)
- All bg-white → bg-surface-50 across templates (warm cream instead of pure white)
- Critical CSS: all hardcoded hex values updated to warm palette
- Prism code blocks: cold gray backgrounds → warm stone
- Pagefind search UI: blue buttons/links → amber interactive colors
- Dark mode: warm dark surfaces with amber accents throughout

Integrates @11ty/eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight (PrismJS) for
build-time syntax highlighting of fenced code blocks. Includes
a custom GitHub-inspired theme with dark mode support (.dark class).
All existing articles with triple-backtick code blocks will
automatically get highlighting on next Eleventy rebuild.
Also fixes overflow-x: hidden on .prose/.e-content that was
clipping scrollable code blocks — changed to overflow-x: clip.
