   IT Consulting (hub) page-specific styles
   Uses tokens from css/brand-v1.6.css. Master-brand / cross-platform page,
   so accents stay Navy + Teal — never Indigo or Coral here.
   This is a lean hub (mirrors platform.html): hero, intro, a 5-card grid to
   the practice areas, a "how we work" strip, and a closing CTA band. Detailed
   Consulting-service content (expertise grid, benefits, consultation CTA)
   lives on consulting.html, not here.

/* ---- Hero visual: connected practice-area pipeline (2026-08-17, Track B
   Cluster A; frame+fill fix 2026-08-17) — 5 nodes (Consulting, Software
   Development, Mobile Applications, Cloud Solutions, Business Intelligence
   Solutions), grounded in the page's own copy: "From strategic advice
   through to delivery" is literally sequential language, not a wheel.
   This is the "linear connected pipeline" member of Cluster A's four
   distinct multi-node layouts (see docs/known-issues.md) — deliberately
   rounded-square nodes with a single connecting line, distinct from
   Solutions' equal-weight labeled grid, AI Automation's dense unlabeled
   chip grid, and Enterprise Industries' radial wheel.

   Frame+fill fix: the first build (thin horizontal row pinned to 50%
   vertical center) was missing the site's established bordered-frame
   convention (every hero-visual fallback — .da-hero-mockup-window on
   Prime/Pulse/platform.html/sitemap.html, or the plainer full-size
   -card-main glass panel on the original Cluster A pages) and only
   occupied a ~42px sliver of a ~230px-tall frame, same underfill pattern
   platform.html/request-demo.html had. Fixed both at once: re-added a
   full-size bordered frame (.ithv-frame, matching the original -card-main
   shape), and changed the 5 nodes from a flat row to a zigzag (alternating
   ~30%/~65% vertical position, connected by an SVG polyline so the path
   is exact regardless of rendered size — the box's aspect-ratio is CSS-
   locked, so a viewBox computed against one reference size stays correct
   at every size), which uses ~35% of the frame's actual height instead of
   a single central line. Short labels added under each node (real
   practice-area names) add real content in the vertical space the zigzag
   opens up, rather than empty padding. ---- */
