/* ============================================================
   ELEMENTOR BRIDGE v2 — 2026-06-27
   Rebuild based on design_handoff_aces_website.
   Loads AFTER style.css and Elementor frontend CSS.
   Overrides legacy ELEMENTOR BRIDGE rules where the old
   design system clashes with the new one.

   Design system targets:
   - Fonts: Archivo (heading UPPERCASE), Public Sans (body),
            Space Mono (eyebrow/labels UPPERCASE)
   - Sharp corners (0–2px max, never rounded)
   - Palette: #16314f / #0f2238 / #f0a23b / #11151a / #5b6168 /
              #f3f3f1 / #e4e4e0 / #13294a
   - Signature motifs: amber dashed top rule, diagonal hatch overlay
