/* EVCO Plumbing — plain CSS, no framework.
   Design v2 (Sarah, 2026-10-20): "like Apple was run by a duck in coveralls."
   Flat, light, quiet. Near-white surfaces, hairlines instead of shadows,
   one yellow used sparingly for the call button. Big clean sans headlines;
   Merriweather appears only where it adds character: the wordmark, review
   quotes, and blog post titles. */
