+   The co-located ReleaseHeroOverlay.razor.css forces .release-hero-play and
+   .release-hero-share icons to --deepdrft-white unconditionally (correct for the
+   over-image light-theme contract). In dark theme the play and share glyphs adopt
+   green to match the "green = interactive" convention. Both the scoped ::deep rule
+   ([b-xxx] .release-hero-play .mud-icon-button) and this global rule
+   (.deepdrft-theme-dark .release-hero-play .mud-icon-button) compute to specificity
+   (0,3,0) — a tie — so the override wins on source order: deepdrft-styles.css is
+   linked after DeepDrftPublic.styles.css in App.razor, making it the later rule.
+   No !important needed. .mud-progress-circular is included alongside .mud-icon-button
+   in the play slot to colour the loading spinner green as well.
