/* ==========================================================================
   Al Mulla & Associates — shared design system
   Palette: deep ink navy + muted brass, "ledger" layout language
   (hairline rules instead of cards/shadows). See homepage design review
   for rationale.

   RTL: baseline attribute wiring only (dir flips on hero/practice rows).
   A full Arabic typography + layout mirroring pass is deferred — tracked
   separately, not yet done here.
