Radix Themes ships --em-font-size-adjust: 1.18 (and the same for Quote)
to make Times New Roman italic visually match the surrounding sans body.
Since we override --em-font-family / --quote-font-family to Open Runde,
the compensation no longer applies and just makes italics render ~18%
larger than neighbouring text — the "hilariously large" italics seen in
agent chat. Set both adjustments to 1.
