/* ============================================================
   chamberlainstudent.com — homepage comp v1
   Family palette: Chamberlain navy #0C2E83 + gold #F2B134 on
   ivory #FBFAF7 — shared with chamberlaintutors /
   chamberlainpreceptor / chamberlainassignments.

   THIRD LAYOUT PRIMITIVE, distinct from both siblings:
     capellastudent  = instrument panel (cards, centred column, all-sans)
     waldenstudent   = annotated document (serif measure + hanging margin)
     chamberlain     = a STATEFUL FORK. The page has two tracks and the
                       reader picks a door; every figure re-reads itself.
   Type: Libre Franklin / IBM Plex Sans — neither used by a sibling.
   Class vocabulary shares nothing with either sibling.
