/* ==== custom.css ==== */
/* custom.css was created April 2026 as a corrected snapshot of components.css. It loads after components.css in includes/header.php (both are always loaded together, unconditionally, in that order), so where the two define the same selector differently, custom.css wins on every page. Both files have continued to be edited independently since. Before editing either file, check the other for the same selector -- a silent duplicate can make an edit here have zero visible effect. See the 2026-09-18 CSS duplication assessment for the full history. */
