/* ==========================================================================
   Appsology UK — v2 design system
   Modelled on taxflowpartners.com (Hesham's chosen reference):
   warm near-black ink on white, cream section panels, serif display
   headings, orange pill buttons, 16px card radius, generous spacing.
   Accent kept as the Appsology brand orange (#E2542B) — swap to
   #FF4801 in :root below if you want Taxflow's exact red-orange.
   Fonts: Fraunces (Google Fonts) for headings, system sans for body.
