/* ============ PARENT-THEME CASCADE FIX ============
 * The parent's base.css sets `h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{color:var(--heading-color)}`
 * as an explicit rule on every heading element. An explicit rule always wins
 * over an inherited one, regardless of selector specificity -- so headings
 * that were relying on inheriting `color:cream` from a dark ancestor (.hero,
 * .approach2, .areas, .creds) were rendering in the parent's heading colour
 * (teal) instead. This never showed up in the static build because nothing
 * there set a competing global h1-h6 rule. Each fix below is scoped to only
 * the dark contexts that need it -- .sec-h on a light background (Elevating
 * Leadership, testimonials) is left alone, since teal is correct there.

/* ---- Home-only nav refinements ----
 * index.html carries a slightly tighter wordmark than about/contact (.02em vs
 * .05em) and animates nav padding. The nav is shared across all pages, so
 * these cannot simply be deduped like the hero/press rules -- scope them to
 * the front page to reproduce the approved build exactly. No media query
 * touches these two properties, so this scoping is safe at every width. */
