 /**
  * Theme Schema
  *
- * Type definitions for the PA design system token structure.
- * These types enforce the naming convention: {context}-{semantic}
+ * The naming convention for design tokens, as types and as data:
+ *
+ *   {context}-[on-]{intent}[-{weight}][-{state}]
+ *
+ * src/theme/tokens.css is the only place tokens are defined, and nothing derives
+ * TypeScript from it. These types describe the *shape* a token name can take
+ * rather than enumerating the names that happen to exist today, which is why the
+ * vocabulary below is the thing to edit when the system grows a new axis.
+ *
+ * The trade that makes explicit: the union is complete but permissive. Every real
+ * token is assignable, and a few combinations it accepts are not defined. Keeping
+ * this vocabulary and tokens.css describing the same system is a manual job — a
+ * token whose name falls outside the grid below is unnameable in TypeScript even
+ * though its utility compiles.
+ *
+ * To read a value, read the CSS: `var(--bg-brand)` in a stylesheet, or
+ * `getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).getPropertyValue("--bg-brand")`
+ * at runtime.
