/* ============================================================
   DERRYL WILLIAMS, RN - LEGAL NURSE CONSULTING
   THEME: "CASE ARCHIVE" - retro-futurist technical document.

   The idea: a legal nurse consultant works with RECORDS. So the site is
   built to look like a beautifully engineered records terminal - 1970s
   NASA technical manual meets early computing meets Swiss grid.
   Retro-futurism, not neon cyberpunk: hairline rules, corner brackets,
   monospace labels, plate numbers, amber instrument accent, warm bone
   paper. Reads as precise and archival, which is exactly the pitch.

   Still fully self-contained: no CDNs, no web fonts, no trackers.
   The previous clean-professional theme is preserved as style-classic.css
   - swap the <link> in the 4 HTML files to switch back.

   ALIGNMENT FIXES — 23 Jul 2026
   Dwill: "the left justified was correct. but some things are
   aligned right. like the text in a btn was not centered correctly."

   So: body copy is LEFT-ALIGNED again (the base theme above is
   untouched). What follows fixes the genuine alignment bugs and
   keeps the even-grid work, which was a real fix rather than a
   centering preference.

   Text inside a control (button, label, plate, table header) is
   centered. Text you READ stays left. That is the rule.

   "REQUEST A CASE REVIEW" button, where the white text looked pushed left.

   text-indent is the usual trick but it fights shrink-to-fit sizing on a

   works on any display type: it removes the phantom gap so the space left
