 Replying to [comment:1 jameskoster]:
 > Closely related: Is there any way to extract and use the design tokens
 (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/theme/src/prebuilt/css
 /design-tokens.css) from Gutenberg's Theme Package, rather than
 duplicating?

 Claude says yes because the tokens are twins with slight differences only
 in naming, not in visuals. Haha. I'm assuming -- as long as we are
 committed to keeping Gutenberg + wp-admin aligned (which I am also
 assuming we are?) then it works!
