/* Aeroz — v7 components in the Aeroz brand kit look (Warm Human retired 18 Oct 2026).
   The dark v7 stylesheet (styles.css) is retired. Pages that still use its
   component classes (.card .cta-panel .h1 .hero-img …) wrap their content in
   <main class="v7">, and every rule here is scoped to it, so the shared warm
   nav, menu, Ask dialog and footer are never affected.
   Tokens: the v7 names are re-pointed at brand kit values, so inline styles
   such as style="color:var(--ink-soft)" read correctly on paper. Inside dark
   surfaces (.cta-panel, photo heroes, bands, diagrams) the same names point
   back at on-dark values. Edit with tools/warmify.py in mind; see AGENTS.md. */
