   ACADEMICS · EDITORIAL REDESIGN (owner brief, 25 Sep 2026)
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Loaded by Academics.html only and scoped to body.acad-ed. Builds on
   oa-system.css (fonts, tokens, .btn, .kicker, .wrap, .faq, the quiz) and
   follows the owner's Academics mockup (25 Sep 2026, "97B74418…png" in the
   project root): cream and navy grounds only, Spectral headlines, one gold accent.

   Ground rhythm, top to bottom:
     navy hero · cream journey · navy streams · cream stream guide ·
     cream teaching · cream extra help · navy technology · cream projects ·
     navy teachers · cream school year · cream questions · navy visit
   Neighbouring cream sections are divided by a hairline, as in the mockup.

   Photographs are never drawn much larger than their files: every `sizes`
   on the page describes the DRAWN width (after object-fit), not the box.
