   Bossis Consilium — styles.css
   Black & gold luxury, autumn accents. Vanilla CSS, no build step.

   Stacking plan (root stacking context):
     0  body::before (ambient golden glows)  ·  .hero__media (video)  ·  body::after (grain)
     1  #leaves-bg   (falling leaves BEHIND content)
     2  sections, ticker, footer, .hero__content
     5  #leaves-fg   (sparse, blurred leaves OVER content)
    12  .to-top
   100  .preloader
   110  .skip-link
   (No header or top bar by design: the brand mark lives inside the hero.)
