style.css

/* ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   Shared styles for the five full-nav pages:
   index, cv, projects, extracurriculars, about-this-site.

   Linked BEFORE each page's own <style>, so anything a page declares
   inline still wins a tie. That ordering is load-bearing: a rule here
   loses to any same-specificity inline rule, even one that used to sit
   above it in the page. Before adding a rule, check no page has an
   inline rule it would now lose to.

   Only rules that were byte-identical on (at least four of) those pages
   live here. Page-specific layout stays inline. The standalone pages
   (graph, graph-methodology, 404, cv-viewer) don't link this file: they
   have their own layouts, and graph.html's tokens are deliberately fainter.
