/* VA Mesothelioma Claims — modern medical-legal restraint (Session 71 re-forge).
 *
 * Design references: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Cooley LLP, Skadden,
 * Asbestos.com Veterans section. Top-tier medical/legal sites in 2026 share
 * a tight pattern:
 *   - Mostly white surfaces; navy reserved for headlines + dark sections
 *   - ONE accent color used sparingly (red, on conversion CTAs only)
 *   - Generous whitespace; typography hierarchy does the work
 *   - Soft shadows for depth, not colored borders or glows
 *   - No decorative stripes, no all-caps body labels, no parchment cards
 *
 * Palette per Hector (from logo):
 *   Navy   #1e336a   primary surface for hero/footer + headlines
 *   Red    #b92139   conversion CTAs only — never decoration
 *   White  #ffffff   dominant background
 *   Gold   #d4a635   ONE restrained accent (60px rule under hero H1)
 *
 * What this build deliberately does NOT do:
 *   - No flag-stripes, gold-red-gold ribbons, or decorative ::before borders
 *   - No cream / parchment / off-white card backgrounds
 *   - No all-caps form labels, branch card titles, footer link captions, or
 *     trust-stat captions (eyebrow label is the only all-caps element)
 *   - No glow shadows on CTAs
 *   - No colored top-borders on cards
 *
 * R1 non-affiliation surface area is preserved (top legal banner, footer
 * disambiguation block, Organization.disclaimer schema field).
 *
 * Honeypot rule (.hp-field) is required for BotDefense per Atrazine pattern.
