/* editorial.css — the 2026-09 redesign layer.
 *
 * Loaded last on the main site, so it wins over base.css / rail.css / foot.css
 * / channels.css at equal specificity. Direction: type and rules instead of
 * boxes. Repeated content is a ruled, numbered list or an alternating row, not
 * a grid of bordered cards.
 *
 * Accent roles: teal = actions, links, one accent phrase per heading.
 * Coral = the diamond in an eyebrow chip. Amber = stars, status chips, seal.
 * Logical properties only. Arabic never takes letter-spacing (base.css forces
 * it to 0 for html[lang="ar"]). */
