Tokens v2 (#14683) put white cards on a white page and darkened border.default, so screens that still use bordered tiles (all of mobile, Feed and Explore on web) read as outlines.

Light (Neue)

  • Page background #FFFFFF -> #F7F7F9; cards stay white, so they separate by surface (1.07:1, was 1.00:1).
  • n100 / border.default #D4D4DC -> #E4E4EA (1.27:1 on white, was 1.47:1).

Dark (Neue)

  • n100 / border.default #34343C -> #2A2A31 (1.19:1 on cards, was 1.38:1).

Text tokens are unchanged. Subdued text is 6.2:1 on the new light page, still AA. Classic and Matrix are untouched. Mobile reads the same primitives, so this reaches mobile by OTA.

Tokens v2 put white cards on a white page with darker borders, so on
screens that still use bordered tiles every card read as an outline.

- Light: page background #F7F7F9 so cards separate by surface again;
  border.default (n100) #D4D4DC -> #E4E4EA.
- Dark: border.default (n100) #34343C -> #2A2A31.

Text contrast is unchanged and still AA on the new page color.

## What

Reverts #14683 (tokens v2) and #14699 (Neue border/page tweak). The new
fonts and palette didn't land well; the condensed TrackRow layouts from
#14684–#14690 stay.

- **Fonts:** web goes back to Avenir; Inter and Bricolage are removed.
Avenir keeps the woff2 loading from #14677, and the Medium, DemiBold and
Bold preloads come back now that it is the primary face. The TrackRow
rank column drops Bricolage.
- **Colors:** original Neue light/dark palette, gradient headings,
accent fill on the selected nav item, and the original type weights.
- **Harmony build:** `harmony-no-fonts.css` and `rollup.fonts.mjs` are
removed; `harmony.css` includes Avenir again (the web Vite plugin from
#14677 still strips the inlined copy).

## Rollout

- Mobile picks up the old palette and weights through `harmony-native`
on the RC OTA.
- Web prod never got tokens v2 (still behind the Production gate), so no
visible change there.
- The embed player did get tokens v2 in prod (no gate) and reverts on
merge.

## Verified

- `tsc` clean for harmony and web.
- Web dev server against prod data: Trending in light and dark shows
Avenir, the old palette and the new rows.
- Mobile `tsc` in the local worktree has 7 errors in unrelated files
(comments gestures, chat list, notifications) from that worktree's
dependencies; none touch the reverted files. Mobile app not run.
