+/**
+ * Odin's animated brand mark: an AI "spark" (Odin) with a data node orbiting a
+ * ring — the assistant at the centre of the business system, in BOHA red. The
+ * spark slow-rotates and breathes; the node orbits. In the "thinking" state
+ * everything speeds up and the tile glows. Honours prefers-reduced-motion.
+ *
+ * The animations live in a `styled("svg")` (not inline style): Emotion only
+ * injects the @keyframes rule when the keyframes object is used inside
+ * sx/css/styled, and the child selectors keep the SVG elements plain/typed.
