   Author build: Sonket Mukherjee (Creative Dalaal)
   Stack: hand-written static HTML/CSS/JS (no build step) for Hostinger.
   This file is organised as:
     1. Design tokens (the design system — colours, type, space, motion)
     2. Reset & base elements
     3. Reusable utilities & components (buttons, marquee, reveal, etc.)
     4. Layout: navbar, hero, sections, footer
     5. Responsive breakpoints
