/* ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   AXOMBLE THEME BASE — GLOBAL RE-SKIN
   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   Consumes tokens from theme.css (--ax-*). Re-skins the
   legacy layout framework (style.css) to the web3-inspired
   light theme: warm gradient heroes, deep-plum ink, white
   soft-shadow cards, magenta pill actions, mono labels.
   Uses !important to override legacy declarations without
   editing style.css.

   Sections
   ─ 1  Global defaults, selection, scrollbar, a11y
   ─ 2  Section rhythm
   ─ 3  Header — floating pill nav, dropdown, mobile nav
   ─ 4  Typography classes
   ─ 5  Buttons
   ─ 6  Home hero
   ─ 7  Bands: tech stack, client logos
   ─ 8  Content sections
   ─ 9  Methodology
   ─ 10 Pricing (custom cards + packages)
   ─ 11 Portfolio modules
   ─ 12 Awards, stats
   ─ 13 About page + team
   ─ 14 Inner-page heroes
   ─ 15 Testimonials, FAQ, misc content sections
   ─ 16 Forms (contact, booking, get-started, bottom band)
   ─ 17 CTA band (dark panel + wave)
   ─ 18 Legal pages
   ─ 19 Preloader
   ─ 20 Footer (dark plum)
