/*======================================================================
  BFSI REDESIGN  —  "Financial Newspaper"
  The Banking & Finance Post (Elets-news theme)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Full design system ported from the bfsi-redesign-1 mockup, adapted to
  drive the live WordPress theme. Loaded LAST (after modern.css) so it
  wins the cascade. Pairs with assets/js/redesign.js (slider + ticker).

  Rollback: restore header.php.bak / home.php.bak / footer.php.bak and
  remove the redesign.css + redesign.js enqueue lines.
