Proof skin — validate the skeleton is theme-agnostic

The milestone's exit gate. The skeleton/skin extraction's goal is "theme #2 is a token file + layout + skin, not a fork" — but theme #2 is deferred (SPEC-094), so the extraction would otherwise ship with no consumer to prove it worked. The harness inert-proof only shows Lumina didn't regress; it does not show the skeleton is actually skin-agnostic. A thin proof skin closes that gap.

Scope

  • Productionize the WORK-410 spike's editorial re-skin into a thin, throwaway alternate skin over the extracted skeleton — deliberately not theme #2: just enough rune coverage to be a meaningful proof, kept as a validation artifact (e.g. under spike//test fixtures or a private package), not a shipped/published theme.
  • It must re-skin using token values + @layer skin CSS only — zero edits to @refrakt-md/skeleton. Any skeleton edit needed to make it work is a mis-classified declaration to push back into WORK-438.
  • Use the harness (WORK-409) to diff Lumina-skin vs the proof-skin and confirm the skin layer is doing the work (the structure is identical; the look diverges).

Acceptance Criteria

  • A thin alternate skin renders the full extracted skeleton correctly, achieved with token values + skin-layer CSS only — no @refrakt-md/skeleton edits.
  • A harness comparison shows Lumina-skin and the proof-skin share structure but differ visually (the skin layer, not the skeleton, carries the look); no specificity wars / !important.
  • Any declaration the proof skin couldn't reach without touching skeleton is filed back to WORK-438 as a cut-line correction. The proof skin stays a validation artifact, not a published theme.

Dependencies

  • Requires WORK-436 (the skeleton package) and WORK-438 (the re-bucketed layers). Uses WORK-409 (harness) for the comparison.
