/* =========================================================================
   kaido-heroes.css (v9, agent H, 6 Nov 2026): purposeful hero compositions.
   Every hero shows one thing from the page's own world, built from real content only:
   industry flows (src/_data/heroFlows.js), the four gates (/services), the founders (/about),
   case counts from front matter (/cases/), the office (/contact), platform evidence (/partners),
   the published comparisons (/compare/), the author and the article facts (posts).
   Tokens come from the top of kaido-system-v2.css (--k-*). Logical properties, so RTL mirrors.
   Selectors start with :root body so they hold against page-level <style> blocks.
