/* site-ginger: Steve Thielsen's site-merged content on a Ginger Martin + Co style system
   (gingermartin.com, Luxury Presence build, captured 2026-09-04). Visual system only:
   ultralight uppercase Montserrat headings, Lato 300 body, putty/cream surfaces, pill
   buttons, light footer, full-bleed listing tiles, hairline ledgers. Every page keeps the
   merged markup and content verbatim; the class names are merged's. The three merged
   surfaces map to Ginger's light palette: surface-light -> cream, surface-warm -> putty,
   surface-dark -> deep putty (there are no dark sections in this system), and .cta-band
   becomes the photographic closer band. */
