/* =========================================================================
   elite.css — premium design layer for the HPT public website.
   Loaded AFTER style2.css so equal-specificity rules win the cascade.

   Direction (per the 2026-07 design review): "Apple meets Stanford meets
   Stripe." Lean into the navy, demote green to an accent, create real
   visual hierarchy with typography + whitespace instead of borders/boxes.

   Scope: global shell (buttons, hero, cards, nav CTA, footer) + a
   homepage-specific block namespaced under `.elite-home`. Interior pages
   inherit the shell uplift; their dense copy layouts are left intact.
