/* ==========================================================================
   KONVEL — v2 EXPLORATORY STYLE LAYER
   ==========================================================================
   This file is ADDITIVE on top of styles.css. It activates only on pages
   that include both styles.css AND this file, with <body class="v2">.
   Production (styles.css) is untouched.

   Purpose: deliver a "tech-savvy, high-end procurement consultancy" feel
   through code-authored visuals — animated mesh gradients, layered SVG
   geometry, scroll-reveal motion, magnetic CTAs, editorial typography.
   No third-party assets, no images required. Photographic imagery from
   Higgsfield will slot in later via the Higgsfield prompt brief.
