/* Care Home Website - base + section library v0.4
Cloned from builds/elm-lodge/site/styles/base.css (the most evolved copy of the
library: it carries the ELM ROUND 6 gratwick-standard pass and the ROUND 7 port of
Gratwick's component set). Everything above the NIGHTINGALE block is shared library
code and belongs upstream; everything inside that block is either a new component
this build earned or a Nightingale-preset override, and is marked for promotion.
No literal client colours live in here: the palette is entirely tokens.css. */

/* --- THE REGULATOR CERTIFICATE (22 Oct 2026) -----------------
The house template from cqc-and-compliance.md v3.1, ported from Stanley
Lodge / Yelverton Care and re-skinned to the Elm palette. Drawn as the
framed certificate a home hangs in its hallway: inset hairline frame, a
seal, the regulator letterspaced, one column per inspected area, the
overall line under a centred rule, then the report link with the
regulator's web address as visible text (Reg 20A, all four elements).
NO "checked" date on the card (Jon, 5 Oct 2026); the verification date
lives in BUILD_NOTES.
Mixed results take a hollow amber ring and the --mixed token, measured to
the same contrast as --good, so the card says what the report says. The
.four modifier carries Care Inspectorate Wales's four themes for Gnoll. */
