/* ============================================================
   THE STUDENT DEBT ARCATECH — styles.css  v2
   Architecture & Design Direction upgrade
   
   Language system: Every section is a layer in a construction
   document. Eyebrows are drawing labels. Dividers are section
   cuts. Cards carry registration marks and dimension lines.
   The grid is always visible — barely — like drafting paper.
