/* Empower consumer site: the Direction A (Estate Editorial) shared layer.
   Distilled 2026-09-27 from the shipped homepage after Ed Sanchez approved
   Direction A and ordered it applied sitewide. Single source for tokens,
   chrome (nav, footer), buttons, section scaffold, panels, and motion on
   every consumer page. Pages keep a small residual <style> for their own
   hero image and one-off components. Aesthetic values are human-owned
   (design-system.md); agents do not change them here. */
