/*!
 * MSIIA — Methodology page styles (bundle-derived 2026-07-18).
 * Standardization pass 2026-07-19 (meth-v7):
 *   - Display type switched from Bebas Neue → Cormorant Garamond so the
 *     page shares the site's institutional headline typeface.
 *   - Component tokens now inherit from site.css (--gold, --gold-border,
 *     --gold-border-strong, --text, --text-subtle, --radius, --space-*,
 *     --panel-pad, --shadow-soft, --font-*) instead of overriding them.
 *   - Wrap width, section padding, card foundation, buttons, badges,
 *     dossier and CTA aligned to the shared design system.
 * Bebas Neue @font-face declarations removed — no more references.
 * Font faces preserved as WOFF2 in /assets/methodology/ for the
 * self-hosted Cormorant Garamond + DM Mono weights. Design system
 * prefix: .mx-
