Is there a guide or a common procedure for hard-coding all the available customizer options in a child theme, other than writing a stylesheet which overwrites the settings?

The child theme is being developed internally for a single site. We have a pro Kadence licence. For various reasons, a number of editors need full Admin access on the site but they shouldn’t have the ability to change anything to do with the appearance of the site. I would like to lock down as many style options as possible in the child theme, then disable the ability for them to be changed from the Customizer.

I’ve already started writing the scss to overwrite everything, but if there’s a set of design tokens tucked away in the theme that I can just edit the json file, I’ve not found it yet.

I know I could have gone down the entirely bespoke theme route rather than a child of Kadence, but I like the speed and basic structure of Kadence a lot. I just want to set the colors, branding, typography etc in the theme, so they can’t be changed
