/* ============================================================
   SITE CHROME v2 — 2026-07-16 homepage rebuild (HOMEPAGE-REBUILD-SPEC.md)
   One source of truth for the NEW sitewide chrome: tokens, base,
   buttons, dropdown nav (About ▾ / Solutions ▾ + 2 CTAs), mobile menu,
   column footer, section scaffolding, reveal animations, grid backdrop.
   Pairs with /js/site-v2.js. Supersedes site-chrome.css once the
   chrome sweep replaces the old nav/footer on every page.
