   SCHOLARS ELITE — EDITORIAL THEME (Nov 2026 preview)
   Same brand colors (navy #0A1025 · pink #FF1E7A · purple #7B2CFF) and the
   same content, restyled in a quiet, premium editorial layout:
   light sentence-case headlines, hairline rules, monochrome photography with a
   navy tint, generous whitespace, the gradient used as an accent only.
   Layered on top of site.css.
