ADR-01

Highlight code on the server

Context
Case studies need readable, themed code without shipping a highlighter to every visitor.
Choice
Shiki runs in Server Components and emits both themes as CSS variables.
Trade-off
Grammars are loaded at build time, so adding a language means listing it up front.
