/* /about-us — AISHTMLNEWDESIGN-579
   Page-owned styles. EVERY selector is scoped to #page-about-us or a
   au- prefixed class: this sheet must never style body, a bare
   element, #ais-header or #ais-footer. The document reset
   (html,body{margin:0}) is owned by the shared layout sheet.
   Font is Inter; no body/UI text below 16px.

   Visual direction: "CIVIC HALL".

   An About page is not a sales floor — it is a company putting its name,
   its values and its four addresses on the record. So the page is built
   like a civic building rather than a casino:

     · GROUND     — deep ink-teal (#0d2b31). Cool, institutional, and
                    deliberately unlike the obsidian, umber, navy and plum
                    grounds already used elsewhere in this repo.
     · PAPER      — warm limestone (#f4f1ea) and white, the reading surface.
     · ACCENT     — a single restrained amber (#c98a2b), used for one CTA
                    and for rules/markers. Never as a second brand colour.
     · RHYTHM     — full-bleed alternating bands, each a single centred
                    column. Cards are square-shouldered with a hairline
                    rule, never floating drop-shadow tiles.

   Motion is finite and user-initiated only (rule 26).
