/* ==================== /epc/ LOWER-PAGE REBUILD — 18 August 2026 =========== *
 * Page-scoped stylesheet for the EPC guidance page's lower chapters and the
 * canonical "On this page" control (rulebook v3.0 §11). Loaded after
 * dukes.css, so equal-specificity declarations here win; it deliberately
 * lives outside dukes.css because another session owns that file today.
 *
 * UNTOUCHED BY THIS FILE: the certificate-panel hero and its film, the three
 * route cards, the A-G accordion and checks (the approved top of the page),
 * and everything in the shared shell.
 *
 * Colour intent: the page keeps its own dossier family (parchment, stone,
 * cream, graphite, oxblood, navy, brass) rather than borrowing the Seller's
 * Guide palette. This layer adds two page-local values — a deep-paper field
 * and one deep-ink ground — and lets the A-G scale speak as data colour in
 * the band-E monument. Nothing here introduces a new hue family.
 * ========================================================================== */
