   v5 — Section-background palette + editorial rhythm.

   Five interchangeable section backdrops. Pages alternate them to create
   contrast. Each backdrop is a self-contained block that handles its own
   typography color so the body content doesn't have to opt in.

     .sect-paper   — softest cream, lightest layer. Body baseline.
     .sect-cream   — base cream. Slightly warmer.
     .sect-sand    — saturated warm cream. The "tactile" middle layer.
     .sect-ink     — charcoal black. Dramatic editorial contrast.
     .sect-navy    — deep brand navy. Inverse, gold-accented.
     .sect-oxblood — accent strip. Use sparingly.

   Optional modifiers:
     .sect-grain   — adds a faint paper-grain texture.
     .sect-grid    — adds a subtle navy gridline texture.
     .sect-arc     — sweeps a gold arc accent into a corner.
     .sect-rule-t  — adds a thick top rule (ink).
     .sect-rule-b  — adds a thick bottom rule (ink).
