/* CopyTradingSystem blog — the article index and a single article.
   This is a layer ON TOP of /site.css (the landing page's stylesheet: tokens, header, footer, buttons, .eyebrow, .blob, .lead, .grad), so the blog is the same
   site and not a second one: the same white page, the same Plus Jakarta Sans, the same soft embossed cards (var(--emboss)), the same header and footer.
   Light only, like every other public page. (Until 2026-10-06 this file was written to the site but never linked from the page, and the page borrowed a
   stylesheet that no longer had the blog's classes — the blog rendered as unstyled text.) */
