   THEME ADDITION (header.php, footer.php) — Dr. Locke 2026-10-14:
   wordmark "MD" is no longer brass (locked lines 46/230); it takes
   the colour of the rest of the name — ink on light backgrounds
   (header), white on dark (footer). Rule for any future wordmark:
   light background → ink name, dark background → white name.

   THEME ADDITION (header.php) — .brand tagline shrunk to stop
   wrapping. The wide dropdown nav was flex-shrinking header .brand,
   wrapping "Steven Locke, MD" and the tagline onto 3-4 lines.
   Per Noor's decision 2026-09-26, the tagline is shrunk so it is no
   wider than the name line: measured in Chromium with the real
   Fraunces/Mulish fonts, the name renders at 176.9px while the
   tagline at the locked .62rem/.24em (line 47) measured 283px;
   at .48rem/.06em it measures ≈176.9px, matching the name.
   These are deliberate, client-approved deviations from the locked
   design values at lines 45-47, which remain untouched above.

   THEME ADDITION (header.php) — .brand touches first nav item.
   .nav (line 42) is flex justify-content:space-between with no
   gap, so .brand and the first .navlinks item can sit edge-to-edge
   at narrower widths. 30px reuses the locked .navlinks gap value
   (line 48) — nothing invented.

   "Schedule a Consultation" text white for readability. The locked
   `.navlinks a` (line 49: ink, opacity .82) out-specifies
   `.btn-primary{color:#fff}` (line 57), so the button rendered ink
   on brass. Restores the button's own white, full opacity.
