/* ======================================================================
   Nihul Consulting - site.css
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Extracted VERBATIM from the approved rebrand spec brand/landing-share.html
   (2026-08-11, chips removed). Everything from ":root" down to the
   prefers-reduced-motion block is the spec's own stylesheet, dedented, with
   only two mechanical changes:
     - @font-face src: data-URI woff2  ->  /fonts/*.woff2 (byte-identical files)
     - two background-image data URIs  ->  /img/rebrand/*.jpg
   The one appended block (CONTACT BAND) is NOT in the spec: the spec's
   #contact anchor lands on the footer's mailto columns, and the live site
   needs a real form posting to /api/contact. It is built only from spec
   primitives (--night ground, hairlines, .btn, Gloock heads).

   All asset paths are ROOT-RELATIVE so any page depth can use this file.
