/* ==========================================================================
   Valstone Law — design system
   Plain CSS, no framework. Every colour, type size and spacing value is a
   custom property defined once in :root. Layout changes only at the three
   breakpoints declared at the bottom (640px, 900px, 1080px). No element is
   positioned with position:absolute or transform for layout; the only fixed
   element is the cookie-consent banner.
