   Layered on top of Bootstrap 4 — additive, so existing markup keeps working.
   Visual direction follows the approved reference layout: crimson gradient
   hero, gold accents, soft elevated cards with generous rounding, and a light
   navigation bar carrying the journal lockup.
   Must load AFTER bootstrap.min.css so overrides win on equal specificity.
