/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   MERCURIOUS.AI — SHARED STYLESHEET
   ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   The one copy of every shared component: tokens, base, typography,
   sections & textures, ornaments, buttons, navigation, hero commons,
   cards, quote box, footer. Lifted verbatim from index.html (the
   canonical page) on 24 Aug 2026.

   Load order contract: every page links this file BEFORE its own
   <style> blocks, so a page rule with equal specificity wins. Page
   styles may override deliberately (each override carries a comment)
   but must never re-declare a shared component unchanged — that
   re-creates the drift this file exists to end.

   Cache: served with must-revalidate (netlify.toml *.css rule), so
   edits here reach returning visitors on next load.

   Two treatments, one ceremony per page, never both:

   .orchestrator-quote — the open quote: a VOICE speaking, first
       person, signalled by the giant quotation mark.
