Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Style inline code as monospace chips

The global Inter font family was applying to bare inline <code> spans,
rendering variables in a proportional font with no visual treatment so
they read as malformed prose. Force a monospace stack, subtle background,
and normal spacing on inline code (code blocks inside <pre> unaffected).

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Tint inline code with kernel green

Grey chip read as sterile. Use kernel green (#81b300) as a low-alpha
fill with a green border, keeping the existing charcoal/light text per
the brand rule (green as fill, never green body text).

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Tint inline code with light gold instead of green

Switch the inline-code chip fill from kernel green to a light gold
(#cab168, the docs accent), keeping charcoal/off-white text.
