/* ============================================================
   PATHBUILDERS — site design system
   Built from concept-m-home-light (the approved template) and
   restructured to carry all ten pages of the 2026-08-20 copy package.

   Palette note: structure runs on Pathbuilders' in-use site blues
   (#0c3955 / #7fb4d8) rather than the brand book's Corp #1 #005670.
   That was a deliberate call — those are the colours the client
   actually uses. To switch the site to the brand teal, change
   --brand and --brand-deep below and nothing else.

   elegance, and a skeptical evaluator needs to see all four worked

   rest; the spiral rail rides alongside as a progress companion,
