/* ============================================================
   ERA Australia — site.css
   One design system for the whole site: homepage, inner pages,
   and the Lambda-rendered blog. Dark editorial: deep navy
   surfaces, oversized sentence-case display type, green accent
   of record, cinematic media, journey-line motif.

   Layers (in order):
   1. Tokens   2. Base/reset   3. Utilities (wrap/eyebrow/btn)
   4. Chrome (nav/footer)      5. Shared components
   6. Page sections            7. Blog
   8. Motion                   9. Responsive + reduced motion
