feat(typography): bake IBM Plex Sans + Source Serif 4 into every tool

System-default font stack ('-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI,
…') is the textbook generic admin-tool look. The tools have a real point
of view (engineering documents, traceability, immutability); the
typography should reflect that.

Picks:
  --font          → IBM Plex Sans (400 + 600). UI body text. Distinctive
                    engineering sans with tabular nums and proper figures.
  --font-display  → Source Serif 4 (600). Headings, page titles,
                    .app-header__title. Reads as "document" not "UI label."
  --font-mono     → unchanged. Platform mono fonts are already excellent
                    and engineering tools rarely benefit from a custom mono.

Wiring:
  - Raw .woff2 files live in shared/fonts/ (~60 KB total, latin subset,
    SIL OFL 1.1 — both families)
  - shared/fonts.css is base64-inlined data URIs for those three fonts
    (~80 KB after b64 overhead). Generated once from the snippet in
    shared/fonts/README.md.
  - Every tool's build.sh prepends shared/fonts.css before shared/base.css
    so @font-face is parsed before any rule references the family names.
  - Headings (h1-h6) and .app-header__title now use var(--font-display);
    .app-header__title bumped 17→18px and letter-spacing reset since the
    serif doesn't need the original sans-text tightening.
  - table/code/.tabular-nums get font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums so
    tracking-number columns align vertically.

"Ship the record player with the record": zero CDN dependency at render
time. Tools render identically offline and online. Per-tool dist sizes
grew by ~80 KB.

+Source `.woff2` files for the typography baked into every tool. These are
+the *raw* font bytes; the actual `@font-face` declarations live in
+`shared/fonts.css` as base64 data URIs so single-file HTML tools render
+identically offline (`file://`) and online with no CDN dependency.
+
+## Files
+
+- `ibm-plex-sans-400.woff2` — UI body text (regular weight)
+- `ibm-plex-sans-600.woff2` — UI emphasis (semibold)
+- `source-serif-4-600.woff2` — display/headings (semibold)
+
+Latin subsets only. ~60 KB total raw; ~80 KB once base64-inlined.
+
+## Regenerating `shared/fonts.css`
+
+Run from the repo root:
+
+```sh
+python3 - <<'PY'
+import base64, pathlib
+fonts = [
+    ('IBM Plex Sans',   400, 'ibm-plex-sans-400.woff2'),
+    ('IBM Plex Sans',   600, 'ibm-plex-sans-600.woff2'),
+    ('Source Serif 4',  600, 'source-serif-4-600.woff2'),
+]
+out = pathlib.Path('shared/fonts.css')
+lines = ['/* shared/fonts.css — base64-inlined woff2. Generated by',
+         ' * shared/fonts/README.md instructions; do NOT edit by hand. */', '']
+for family, weight, fn in fonts:
+    b64 = base64.b64encode((pathlib.Path('shared/fonts') / fn).read_bytes()).decode('ascii')
+    lines += ['@font-face {',
+              f"    font-family: '{family}';",
+              '    font-style: normal',
+              f'    font-weight: {weight};',
+              '    font-display: swap;',
+              f"    src: url(data:font/woff2;base64,{b64}) format('woff2');",
+              '}', '']
+out.write_text('\n'.join(lines))
+PY
+```
+
+## Adding or swapping a font
+
+1. Download the new `.woff2` into this directory (latin subset only — keep
+   the bundle small).
+2. Update the `fonts` list in the snippet above to include the new family
+   + weight + filename.
+3. Re-run the regen snippet.
+4. Update `--font` or `--font-display` tokens in `shared/base.css`.
+5. `./build` and verify every tool's `dist/*.html` still includes
+   `@font-face` (three by default).
+
+## Sourcing
+
+Originally downloaded from the `@fontsource` npm packages via jsdelivr:
+
+- IBM Plex Sans 400/600: `@fontsource/ibm-plex-sans@5.0.18`
+- Source Serif 4 600: `@fontsource/source-serif-4@5.0.5`
+
+Both licenses are SIL Open Font License 1.1. Fontsource bundles only the
+latin subset by default, which is exactly what we want.
