/* ==========================================================================
   Daedalus Design — Homepage design elevation (OP #96)
   Loaded after home-2026.css / lead-capture.css / gold-glow.css on the
   homepage only, so every rule here refines what is already there instead of
   forking the base system.

   Principles:
   - Depth over decoration: layered surfaces, hairline gold rules, soft shadow.
   - Motion only where the visitor asks for it (prefers-reduced-motion guard).
   - Contrast preserved: text colours are never lowered; gold stays an accent.
   - Cookie banner, forms and legal links keep their existing hierarchy.
