   Loaded AFTER theme stylesheets so all rules win without !important
   except where theme uses higher specificity. Scope = homepage variant 21
   plus globally-shared elements (navbar, buttons, sections, cards).
   To revert: remove the <link> tag from partials/_head.blade.php and
   delete this file. No other files depend on it.
