/* =========================================================================
   MASTERCLASS DETAILS - modern layer, original ScholarHat masterclass palette
   (cyan to magenta heading gradient, indigo accent, deep navy), built mobile
   first with real depth: layered shadows, glass, gradient hairlines, bento.
   Loaded after master-class.css and master-class-md.css and scoped to .mc.
   The markdown sections (#heading, #hero-point, #what, #audience, #build,
   #why, #bonus) keep their structure and are re-themed here.
   Light / dark follow [data-bs-theme] on <html>.
