/* ==========================================================================
   Elite Reads — Theme Stylesheet
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Prepared for conversion into a WordPress (block/classic) theme.

   SECTION MAP
     1. VARIABLES  (:root)  → move into theme.json / settings.custom later
     2. BASE       (resets, typography, links)
     3. LAYOUT     (container, grids, sections)
     4. COMPONENTS (header, footer, card, badge, hero, pagination,
                    rating-card, pros/cons, faq, compare-table, cta, search-modal)
     5. RESPONSIVE (media queries — tablet <=960px, mobile <=640px)

   NAMING: BEM — block, block__element, block--modifier.
   All values reference the CSS custom properties in :root, so a developer
   can port the palette / type scale / spacing straight into theme.json.
