Initial mirror of the HPE Design System

Readable mirror of https://design-system.hpe.design, sourced from
github.com/grommet/hpe-design-system (Apache-2.0) at commit 567c4d5
(2026-07-16).

The upstream site is a client-rendered Next.js export with no sitemap; it
returns a 1.5 KB empty shell to curl. This repo is the same guidance in plain
Markdown with every value resolved, plus the assets checked in.

Docs: scope and authority model, brand foundations with resolved color and
spacing tables, the design token tiers and version map, UI copy rules,
accessibility conformance and the responsibility split, the component and
template inventory, and an adoption/review checklist.

Assets: 452 SVG icons, 5 HPE and Aruba word-marks, 282 documentation graphics.

HOWTO-mirror-the-design-system.md is a verified runbook for rebuilding this
from scratch against a newer upstream.

Colors were resolved programmatically, not transcribed: token JSON stores
references, not values.

Apache-2.0 upstream. Note that it covers copyright, not trademark; Brand
Central remains authoritative for the HPE marks.
