/* ============================================================
   CASE TO COUNSEL — Render prototype (static pages)
   Ported Oct 31, 2026 from the approved v6 redesign.
   Palette (owner's): black, gray, white, deep blue — nothing else
   in the site chrome. Four switchable colorways from that palette;
   "Deep Blue" is the default. Which colorway becomes THE one is
   the owner's call (the switcher below is preview-only).
   Concept: the docket. Mono file-labels, ledger rules, docket-entry
   numbering, sharp corners, one confident serif for headlines.
   THE LOGO is artwork, not chrome: the master file
   assets/ctc-logo.png (parchment plate, navy CTC, gold frame),
   referenced as-is, never recolored, in header and footer.
