+/**
+ * THE BRAND COLOUR, IN A TERMINAL.
+ *
+ * gu's accent was ANSI cyan — one of the original sixteen colours, chosen when the only question
+ * was "which of these eight-ish names looks least bad". The web app has a real palette now, built
+ * around indigo, and the terminal is the face of this product people see every day: two different
+ * accents makes them look like two different programs.
+ *
+ * THE COLOUR IS #a5b4fc — the web app's --accent-fg, the same token that paints the block wordmark
+ * on the landing page. Not --accent (#6366f1): that one is a BUTTON FILL, and as text on a dark
+ * terminal it is too dark to read comfortably. The web app makes exactly the same distinction.
+ *
+ * WHICH IS A PROBLEM, BECAUSE TERMINALS DISAGREE ABOUT COLOUR. There is no "purple" to ask for —
+ * there are three separate mechanisms, and a terminal supports one of them:
+ *
+ *   24-bit    \x1b[38;2;165;180;252m   the exact colour. iTerm2, VS Code, Windows Terminal,
+ *                                      kitty, alacritty, most modern emulators.
+ *   256       \x1b[38;5;147m           the nearest cell of the xterm cube (#afafff). Apple's
+ *                                      Terminal.app is here — it has never supported 24-bit.
+ *   16        \x1b[35m                 magenta, the only purple the original palette has. Old
+ *                                      terminals, CI logs, anything reporting a TERM it cannot
+ *                                      back up.
+ *
+ * Sending a 24-bit sequence to a terminal that does not understand it does not degrade — some
+ * print the escape as text, across the banner. So the capability is detected rather than assumed,
+ * and the fallbacks are deliberate rather than accidental.
+ *
+ * ESCAPE HATCHES, because a colour is a preference and someone will hate this one:
+ *   NO_COLOR=1        no colour at all (the standard; https://no-color.org)
+ *   GU_ACCENT=cyan    the old cyan, exactly as it was
+ *   GU_ACCENT=off     same as NO_COLOR, for people who only want gu quiet
