   HOW THIS FILE IS ORDERED
   ------------------------
   Section numbers match the order the sections appear in index.html.
   Inside each section: desktop rules first, then a RESPONSIVE block
   with the mobile overrides for that section only.

   THREE RULES THAT KEEP THIS FILE SAFE TO EDIT
   --------------------------------------------
   1. One selector, one home. Before adding a rule, search the file for
      the class first — if it already exists, edit it there. Scattered
      duplicates are how rules start silently overriding each other.

   2. Watch specificity in media queries. A media query does NOT
      automatically win. `.eco .ec-sub` (2 classes) beats `.ec-sub`
      (1 class) even inside `@media`. If a mobile override "does
      nothing", this is almost always why — match the specificity.

   3. Class names are global. `.chip` was used by two different
      sections and their styles leaked into each other. Prefix new
      classes with the section (`.fq-`, `.rise `, `.eco `).

   RUN `python3 audit.py` AFTER EDITING — it catches all three.
