/* ==========================================================================
   Dan Giancola — Niagara Falls
   A public-figure site that carries the 2026 council campaign.

   Register: open, bright, approachable. White grounds, generous space, a
   confident campaign blue. Built to engage voters.

   Palette : white + pale blue-grey bands, deep navy ink, campaign blue accent
   Type    : Figtree (headlines + UI) / Source Serif 4 (personal narrative)

   NOTE 1: this site is deliberately LIGHT-ONLY. There is no dark-theme block —
   every colour is painted explicitly so the page stays white and legible for
   every visitor, including those whose device is set to dark mode.

   NOTE 2: all motion is CSS-driven. No JavaScript ever hides content, so a
   blocked script or a slow phone can never leave a section blank. See §17.
