/*
 * CTS v7 page-type design system.
 * Three page-type identities (silo = division flagship, sub-silo = solution
 * brief, service = conversion lander) sharing one brand. Fully namespaced:
 * every rule is scoped under .c7 and every class is prefixed c7- so nothing
 * here can touch the homepage, dashboards, plugin UI or the shared chrome.
 * Design tokens are declared on .c7 so they exist only inside this subtree.
