/* ============================================================
   HireQwik homepage (v2, 2026-10-05): docsapi.co-style illustrated layout.
   Homepage sections in page order; the illustration kit, proof card and the
   CTA form moved to kit.css (2026-10-06), tokens + .badge to site.css. Every illustration
   is wrapped in .illus (aria-hidden + data-nosnippet) and uses only the
   fictional sample candidates and figures already published on the site.
