   beltonpartners.com - Microsoft / Fluent aligned theme, neutral pass.
   Loaded AFTER kit.css; overrides the Belton "Clear" tokens so the
   partner site reads like a Microsoft partner property: Segoe UI,
   white + Fluent neutral surfaces, soft elevation. Colour is used
   SPARINGLY - communication blue appears only on primary CTAs, text
   links and form focus. Every decorative accent (labels, icons,
   numerals, rules, chevrons) is neutral grey/ink.
