/* ===========================================================================
   Designed sections (CMS block type "Design").

   Markup comes from Views/Public/_Blocks/_Design.cshtml and the partials in
   Views/Public/_Blocks/Design/. Every band is full-bleed; its content lines up
   with the header's content column (.site-shell: 1180px, 20px gutters) at every
   width, and images marked "bleed" run on to the viewport edge.

   Layouts:  .ds--hero  .ds--split  .ds--features  .ds--steps  .ds--cta
   Themes:   .ds--dark  .ds--light
   Spacing:  .ds--space-compact  .ds--space-normal  .ds--space-roomy

   The two-column bands use one grid whose outer tracks are `minmax(20px, 1fr)`.
   That is what keeps the copy aligned with .site-shell while the picture runs
   to the edge: the middle tracks add up to the shell width, the outer tracks
   take whatever is left.
