Modern re-design of the main Resume block. Awards block icons are no longer tied to the 'brands' pack - any pack can be used and specified in the form `icon: <pack>/<icon> Refactor Tailwind CSS theming to support full primary/secondary palettes Refactors the theme system to correctly apply primary and secondary color palettes from theme packs. Previously, Tailwind's build-time resolution of CSS variables in the `@theme` block caused theme pack colors to be overridden by the default blue theme. This commit resolves the issue by adopting a best-practice, two-layer token system: 1. All theme packs now define `--hb-primary-*-rgb` and `--hb-secondary-*-rgb` variables with raw RGB values. 2. The core `theme.css` now defines `--color-primary-*` and `--color-secondary-*` inside the `@theme` block using a `rgb(var(...))` function. This makes Tailwind aware of the themeable color names so it can generate all necessary utilities (`bg-`, `text-`, `ring-`, etc.) while ensuring the final color value is resolved in the browser at runtime. This change fixes the build error related to unknown utility classes (e.g., `ring-primary-500`) and ensures that the selected theme pack is correctly applied across all components.
