   Elementor handoff notes:
   - Every class uses the `gcc-` prefix and maps 1:1 to an Elementor widget
     or section: .gcc-section = Section, .gcc-container = Container,
     .gcc-btn = Button widget, .gcc-card = Icon/Info Box, etc.
   - Copy the :root tokens into Elementor Site Settings > Global Colors.
   - Fonts: Playfair Display (headings) + Plus Jakarta Sans (body).
   - All motion (reveal/marquee/parallax) is progressive enhancement and can
     be reproduced with Elementor Motion Effects / Entrance Animations.
