/* ═══ guide-v2.css — the home-inspired GUIDE layout (23 Sep 2026) ═══
   Rendered by templates/pages/services-content/_content_v2.php — the DEFAULT for
   every /guide/{slug}; a data file with 'layout'=>'v1' (or ?layout=v1) gets v1.
   Language borrowed from the home page: ivory / warm / champagne bands, navy
   panels with gold accents, Fraunces display type, mono eyebrows, gold seams.
   TRAPS (theme-light.css): never put "-card" or "-track" in a class name here —
   [class*="-card"] repaints it white; #faq / #services ids get band paint unless
   the element also carries .cx-sec. The hero is .cxv-top (not *-hero) so gs-fx.js
   does not mount its halo scene over the glance panel. */
