 * Pilots Academy — guide page design system.
 *
 * Shared styles for long-form SEO pages (cadet guides, salary, fees, eGCA…)
 * built as HTML blocks. Every rule is scoped under .pa-guide so nothing here
 * can restyle the theme header, footer or menus. Pages wrap their content in
 * <div class="pa-guide">…</div> and carry no <style> block of their own.
 *
 * The PA Content Abilities plugin loads this file only on pages whose content
 * contains "pa-guide". Source of truth: design-system/pa-guide.css in the repo;
 * the plugin ships a copy in assets/.
