+/* ── The `motir` BASE palette, re-asserted for a SCOPED subtree (MOTIR-3933) ──
+   `motir` is the Tier-0 default, so it historically had NO block: the base
+   values simply were the palette. That is correct for `<html>` and wrong for a
+   NESTED scope, which inherits its ancestor's palette and has nothing to
+   override it with — a `motir` preview under a `graphite` document rendered as
+   graphite. Every other palette re-asserts, so the base must too.
+
+   ⚠️ SCOPED BY `[data-appearance-scope]`, DELIBERATELY. `<html>` never carries
+   that attribute, so this block matches only a nested preview and the ROOT
+   cascade is byte-identical to before. It also keeps the block from reading as
+   a palette OVERRIDE: several `tests/theme/*` guards DERIVE "which palettes
+   override this token" from the stylesheet, and a bare `[data-palette='motir']`
+   block silently enrolled the BASE palette in bars written for overrides. It is
+   not an override — it is a scope reset — and the selector now says so.
+
+   These values are COPIES, and the duplication is guarded rather than trusted:
+   `tests/theme/scopedPreviewIsolation.test.ts` asserts each declaration here
+   equals the value the base layer declares for that token, so a change to
+   `@theme` that is not mirrored here fails rather than drifts. The token SET is
+   the union of what any `[data-palette]` block overrides — a new palette that
+   overrides a token absent here fails the same test.
+   ⚠️ The path above was `test/paletteScopeIsolation.test.tsx` until MOTIR-3954,
+   which is a file that has never existed, and the VALUE assertion it promised
+   had never been written either — only the token-SET one had. Both are true
