/* Al-Qurum Metal Industries — site styles
   Layout borrowed from the design Ahmed chose (alqurum-website-preview.html), set in the brand colours:
   white pages, navy (#071634) bands and text, cobalt (#1747C9) buttons and accents. Light by default; a dark
   mode the visitor switches on with the header button (see "dark mode" at the end; theme.js remembers it).
   Small Latin "eyebrow" labels with a line sit above headings; blocks fade in as they scroll into view.
   No inline styles anywhere: the Content-Security-Policy forbids them. */
