/* ---------- masthead: the name IS the mark, and the middle earns its keep ------
   The tagline and the availability lamp both used to sit up here, which left the
   name competing with two things that said less. They are gone; the name is the
   brand and carries the weight alone.

   The space they vacated now holds the daily strip — see .dstrip below. The bet
   is that a masthead a litigator checks every morning is worth more than one that
   only says who we are, and that the check becomes habit only if what is there is
   genuinely operational: the date they are counting from, the rule change that
   moved under them, and one mechanism they may not have reached for. */

/* THE DOORS ARE NO LONGER COLOUR-CODED, and that is a reversal — worth saying why,
   because the two colours that used to be here were chosen carefully.

   With two doors, teal and indigo were a genuine wayfinding aid. At four they stop
   working, for two independent reasons:

   1. The palette cannot carry four. Measured the same way the indigo was: the
      trustee/attorney pair already sits at ΔE 8.9 under simulated protanopia, and
      that is the floor anything new has to clear. Every green tested collapses
      into the oxblood accent under deutan and protan (ΔE 0.5–7.5 — red and green
      converge, which is the whole point of red-green deficiency), and every blue
      near enough to read as "judicial" collapses into the trustee teal (ΔE 4.3).
      What survives the search is arbitrary — plum, magenta — chosen by the solver
      rather than by meaning, which is a worse answer than no colour at all.
   2. Four colours in the masthead compete with the name, and the name is now the
      brand. That was the point of this change.
   The words already tell the doors apart, which the old comment here said was the
   real safeguard anyway. Colour was the redundant channel; it is the one to drop.
   To put it back, restore --portal/--counsel on .mast-portal/.mast-counsel. */

/* ================= the platform site — /platform/ =================
   THE RESET IS NOT TIDINESS. It exists because the firm stylesheet, which every
   page here loads for the faces and the palette, carries BARE ELEMENT rules —
   and a class prefix cannot defend against those. `footer{max-width:1280px;
   margin:0 auto}` inherited straight through `.pl-foot`, so the platform footer
   drew as an 1280px island with paper down one side and nothing failed. Same
   family as the `.dk` collision the class check now catches; different mechanism,
   so it needs its own answer.

   The elements listed here are exactly the ones ELEMENT_RULES in
   check_no_element_collisions() reads out of build.py's CSS. Add a bare element
   rule over there and the build says so rather than a page quietly changing. */

/* ---- the screenshot figure ----
   A LAWYER CANNOT PICTURE A SURFACE THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN, which is John's note
   on the first review of this site and the reason these exist. Every image is a
   real render of the product — see site/shots/render_shots.mjs — so the frame is
   deliberately plain: a hairline and a shadow, no fake browser chrome, no
   perspective, no laptop bezel. A drawn frame around a real screen makes the
   screen look drawn too.
   The CAPTION IS NOT DECORATION. It says the matter is invented, and it is on
   every figure without exception, because a screenshot of a real client's file
   on a public page is a Tex. Disciplinary R. 1.05 problem and saying so is
   better marketing than hoping nobody wonders. */
