   WOLFSON EQUITY — Site Stylesheet
   Build marker: WOLFSON-BUILD-v7
   Edition 01 · Merchant-bank institutional system
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   HARD RULES ENCODED HERE (do not regress):
   1. No font-size below 12.5px anywhere.
   2. Dark-zone contrast by construction: dark containers reset
      the text-color custom properties to light values, so a
      color: var(--dim) can never render dark-on-dark.
   3. Static px fallback precedes every clamp() font-size.
   4. Flex/grid gap always paired with margin fallbacks.
   5. Sections visible by default; reveal only when html.io is set
      by JS (html.io .reveal:not(.in) hides). No JS = fully visible.
   6. Nav markup + CSS live here, shared by every page.
   7. Mobile display:none hides are caged inside the media query.
