/* ============================================================
   CV Uplifted — "Boutique Personal" direction. Blush cream + deep
   plum + a warm gold accent; Playfair Display (serif display, self-
   hosted) + Inter — a pairing not used elsewhere in this batch.
   No homepage topic-tile/icon-grid at all this time — other sites in
   this batch already used a quiet list, colored tiles, and a terminal
   checklist for that role — this build's distinct section is a
   vertical timeline instead, and the topic breakdown lives only on
   guides.php. (A centered-logo/dropdown-only header and single-column
   footer were tried and reverted — read as too sparse; standard
   header/footer chrome kept for this build.)
