/* ============================================================
   Permanent Fixes — modernized presentation.
   REDESIGN A adopted site-wide (LOCKED user decision, 2026-09-30).
   Open page (NO floating cream panel/shadow/blue frame); his cream
   (#eeeecc) is the whole page below the menu; the menu sits in a
   full-width blue band directly under the photo; white search box,
   note box, and subject chips. Reading serif = TeX Gyre Pagella
   (Palatino-like, GUST Font License / LPPL — free) for titles,
   headings, and body; interface text = Inter (SIL OFL) — both stored
   locally in fonts/ (no outside font service). Interface text >= ~15px.
   Site colors (his own theme): slate blue #335676, cream #eeeecc,
   green #568767 (now a thin band atop the footer). His words, titles,
   labels, dates, and images are unchanged; only presentation is new.
