/* ============================================================
   Girne & Sons Dumpster Rental Gastonia — Gastonia, NC / Gaston County /
   Charlotte-metro west side. Single stylesheet. Brand colors in :root.
   Technical/responsive foundation ported from the Ferdy Bros Dumpster
   Rental Fayetteville build, itself descended from the BDN Bros/CGS/Briggs
   Brothers/LCR lineage (breakpoints, grid mechanics, burger/off-canvas nav,
   FAQ accordion, table-scroll, callbar) — visual identity built fresh.
   ============================================================ */
:root{
  /* Navy (#0F3A5C) and blue (#1C5C92) derived from the supplied Girne &
     Sons logo's circular badge fill (the dumpster-icon fill / "GIRNE &
     SONS" wordmark, sampled directly at RGB(28,92,146) across several
     points of the mark), the navy a darker derived shade for reliable
     header/footer/dark-panel contrast (the logo itself has no separate
     dark navy — one sampled blue, deepened here for panel use).
     The CTA is a fresh third color — a warm brick/MILL-TERRACOTTA
     tone #9C4A2E — not drawn from the logo (the crew's navy polos carry no
     accent color of their own to sample from), chosen to evoke the real
     red-brick mill architecture of Loray Mill and Gastonia's historic
     mill-village rowhouses, deliberately NOT reaching for any
     Charlotte-area pro/college sports trademark color (Panthers
     blue-black, Hornets teal/purple, Duke navy, UNC Carolina blue, NC
     State red).
     CONTRAST (computed via the standard WCAG relative-luminance function,
     never eyeballed): rust #9C4A2E against WHITE text clears 6.12:1
     (AA, past the 4.5:1 floor) — every CTA-colored button/pill/badge in
     this file uses WHITE text on the rust fill, no navy-text swap
     needed. The hover shade --red-600 (#7C3A22, darker) holds 8.45:1 with
     white text. Rust used as small TEXT directly on white (eyebrow
     labels, card-link labels, FAQ arrow, tr.hl highlighted-row link) uses
     a dedicated darker text-safe shade --red-700 (#5F2C1A) instead —
     11.3:1 on white, comfortably past AAA — full-strength rust stays
     for decorative icon/border/focus-ring use where it isn't held to
     text-contrast rules. --gold (repurposed here as a light STEEL-BLUE/
     FOOTHILL tint, #7FA8C9, sampled from the logo's own mountain-
     silhouette/side-panel light fill) is reserved for the eyebrow-tick
     mountain-ridge decoration, decorative icon fills on dark panels, and
     small accents — NEVER as a large background fill or as small body
     text directly on white (only 2.52:1 at full strength). Where it
     needs to read as small TEXT on a light background (link hover), a
     darker text-safe shade --gold-700 (#356082) is used instead — 6.67:1
     on white. Full-strength --gold on navy clears about 4.7:1 — fine
     for the (non-text) decorative tick/icon fills it's mostly used for,
     but short of a comfortable small-text margin — so eyebrow LABEL TEXT
     sitting on a dark panel (hero, page-hero, cta-band, sec-navy,
     call-card, .eyebrow.light) uses a lighter --gold-300 (#B9D4E6)
     instead, which clears 7.65:1 against navy. Navy on white clears
     11.8:1 and the sampled blue on white clears 7.01:1 — both pass on
     their own, no workaround needed.
     The Gastonia/Gaston County Piedmont-foothills identity drives the
     signature motifs: a MOUNTAIN-RIDGE eyebrow tick — a short
     skyline-outline underline (CSS mask + SVG path, recolorable via
     currentColor-adjacent background-color) evoking the mountain-skyline
     motif in the Girne & Sons logo mark itself (genuinely appropriate here
     — Gastonia sits at the edge of the NC Piedmont/foothills with Crowders
     Mountain State Park nearby, not a borrowed motif); a MILL-BRICK icon
     tile built from a repeating coursed-brick clip-path — evoking the real
     red-brick coursing of Loray Mill and Gastonia's historic mill-village
     architecture; and a repeating RIDGE-LINE divider — two layered
     tileable SVG wave bands (a softer blue rolling-hill band behind, a
     crisper navy band in front) evoking the real Piedmont foothill terrain
     Gastonia sits in rather than a coastal motif. */

/* Poppins loads real 600/700/800 weight cuts (see
   common.py FONTS), so every heading-font element gets an explicit,
   deliberately-chosen weight rather than an inherited/default 400 —
   h1 goes heaviest (800) for hero impact, h2 drops to 700, h3/h4 settle
   at 600 for a still-sturdy but less shouty subhead weight. Anywhere a
   heading-styled element might otherwise inherit the base `strong{
   font-weight:700}` rule (hero-badge strong, size-badge strong, quote
   figcaption strong, author-box strong, info-list strong, map-fallback
   strong) gets its own explicit weight so the whole condensed-caps
   family reads at one consistent, intentional weight per role instead
   of drifting to whatever the wrapping tag happened to set. FAQ summary
   text uses weight 500 (the lightest loaded cut) rather than 400 (NOT
   loaded — would silently fall back to a faux-bold browser synthesis on
   a condensed display face) since it reads a full question sentence,
   not a heavy display heading. */

   RIDGE-LINE tick: a short wavy underline sitting beneath the

   base) applied as a CSS mask on a plain rectangle: `background-color`
   supplies the actual color (so it recolors cleanly with var() — red-700
   on light panels, gold on dark panels/`.light` — since data-URI SVGs
   inside background-image cannot resolve currentColor/var(), while a
   masked background-color can). The eyebrow itself becomes the

/* ROLL-OFF RIB ZIGZAG tile — a `clip-path: polygon(...)` zigzag cut into
   just the TOP ~22% of an otherwise solid square, evoking a row of
   diagonal container-lip ribbing — a nod to the real corrugated,
   ribbed steel side panels visible on every supplied dumpster photo, a
   natural fit for the shape itself since the clip-path is a literal
   repeating zigzag. The notch is kept deliberately shallow — max cut depth 24% of
   the tile height — so a centered icon glyph (roughly the middle
   29%-71% of the box) sits entirely on solid fill, never in the cut-out
   gap; a prior build in this portfolio first shipped this motif with too
   large a notch and had to fix it, so this one is checked against that
   failure mode. */

/* -------------------------------------------------- SIGNATURE: ridge-line divider
   Two layered, independently-tiling SVG wave bands stand in for a flat
   rail/tick divider — a softer, semi-transparent BLUE band riding along
   the top, a crisper solid NAVY band along the bottom, evoking the real
   rolling Piedmont foothill terrain Gastonia and
   Gaston County sit in. Each wave is
   a small, self-contained filled "ribbon" path built from smooth cubic
   beziers whose start/end points share the same baseline y — so the
   SVG's own viewBox already contains a whole number of periods and every
   tile-edge lines up with the next, no seam, at any background-size the
   two layers are scaled to. Two separate rhythms (a 4-bump navy tile and
   a 2-bump blue tile, different widths) keep the two layers from ever
   repeating in lockstep, so the divider reads as real layered water
   rather than one flat pattern doubled. */
