/* =============================================================================
   PONTIFEX INFRASTRUCTURE — standalone stylesheet.

   SELF-CONTAINED ON PURPOSE. This site shares no files with pontifex.fund: it
   has its own domain, its own consent banner and its own policies. Nothing here
   is loaded from the housing site, and nothing here is loaded BY it.

   The palette and type are the same "Ink & Oxblood" system the group uses, but
   the values are declared here rather than imported — so this folder can be
   lifted into its own repository and deployed on its own with no edits.

   Consequence worth knowing: a fix to the shared corporate stylesheet does NOT
   reach this file. If you change a token or a button there, change it here too.
