  * Any single-color input form accepted by the value-shorthand
  * overload of `glaze.color()`.
  *
- * Strings cover hex (`#rgb` / `#rrggbb` / `#rrggbbaa`, alpha dropped
- * with a warning) and the four CSS color functions Glaze itself emits:
- * `rgb()`, `hsl()`, `okhsl()`, `oklch()` (alpha components also dropped
- * with a warning).
+ * Strings cover hex with a leading `#` (`#rgb` / `#rgba` / `#rrggbb` /
+ * `#rrggbbaa`) and the five color functions Glaze itself emits: `rgb()`,
+ * `hsl()`, `okhsl()`, `okhst()`, `oklch()`, plus the `rgba()` / `hsla()`
+ * aliases. Function names are case-insensitive; components are numbers or
+ * percentages, separated by spaces or commas. Their scales:
+ * - `rgb()` — channels 0–255, or percentages (`100%` is 255).
+ * - `hsl()` / `okhsl()` / `okhst()` — saturation, lightness and tone are
+ *   percentages or bare 0–1 fractions: `hsl(120 50% 50%)` or
+ *   `hsl(120 0.5 0.5)`. Unlike CSS, a bare `hsl(120 50 50)` does not mean
+ *   50%; it is out of range and resolves to white without a warning.
+ * - `oklch()` — L 0–1 or a percentage; C bare, or a percentage where
+ *   `100%` is 0.4.
+ * - Hue is in degrees, bare or with `deg`. Other angle units (`turn`,
+ *   `rad`, `grad`) are misread as degrees rather than rejected.
+ *
+ * An alpha component (hex alpha, `/ A`, or any fourth component) is
+ * dropped with a warning. Named colors, other color functions, and
+ * relative color syntax throw.
  *
- * The OKHSL object form `{ h, s, l }` matches Glaze's native shape
- * (h: 0–360, s/l: 0–1). Passing 0–100 values for `s`/`l` throws with
- * a hint to use the structured `{ hue, saturation, lightness }` form.
+ * Literal object forms, told apart by their keys:
+ * - `{ r, g, b }` — sRGB 0–255.
+ * - `{ l, c, h }` — OKLCh (L/C: 0–1, H: degrees), same as `oklch()` strings.
+ * - `{ h, s, t }` — OKHST (h: 0–360, s/t: 0–1). Tone in 0–1, so `t: 0.7` is
+ *   tone 70.
+ * - `{ h, s, l }` — OKHSL (h: 0–360, s/l: 0–1).
  *
- * The tuple form is `[r, g, b]` in 0–255, matching `glaze.fromRgb`'s
- * range. Out-of-range or non-finite components throw.
+ * An object `s`, `l`, `t` or `c` above 1.5 throws, which catches 0–100
+ * input; the OKHSL / OKHST errors point to the structured form. String
+ * components have no such check.
