/* ==========================================================================
   electricalbusplugbuyers.com
   Design system: "Cut Line" — industrial field-markup, MOBILE-FIRST.
   The visual language of chalk lines, paint stencils and shop labels: heavy
   rules and corner ticks instead of soft cards, weight as hierarchy instead
   of color changes, left-anchored asymmetry instead of centered heroes.
   Palette: #0a0a0a ink ground, #fafafa bone panels, #ffc700 MACHINE AMBER as
   the single ownable accent (deliberately deeper/more amber than the sister
   site's #ffd400 so the two brands never read as the same), #8a8a85 graphite
   for secondary text. Flat fills, HARD 0px corners everywhere, no gradients
   on surfaces, no glow, no dark mode, ZERO JavaScript.
   Structure rules:
     * base styles = phone; min-width media queries add desktop
     * two header tiers, nav is a horizontal scroll rail on phones
     * sticky bottom action bar on phones only
     * hero is ONE banded unit (ink ground + bus plug photo + measure rail)
     * sections alternate white / wash / black so ideas stay separated
     * every tap target >= 44px, buttons full-width on phones
     * SIGNATURE MOTIFS: ticked measure rail on band edges, amber corner ticks
       on every photo and data panel, stencil amp badges, mono face for all
       amp ratings and dollar figures
