   Fast Tracking — Brisbane Page Styles
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   File location:  wp-content/themes/astra-child/assets/brisbane/style-brisbane.css
   Loaded by:      template-brisbane.php (via conditional enqueue in functions.php)

   Architecture:
   - Sydney CSS is the source of truth for design tokens (:root), masthead,
     footer typography, fade-ins, and shared layout primitives. Those rules
     are kept verbatim below.
   - Brisbane-specific body rules sit at the BOTTOM of this file (search for
     "BRISBANE PAGE — BODY CONTENT") and add styling for the v2 components
     that Sydney's template doesn't have: breadcrumbs, trust-strip,
     included-grid, hospital-groups, why-rate-table, faq-item, page-meta,
     ft-footer, wrap-narrow, hero-ctas, btn-secondary, section-num.
   - Visual style mirrors Sydney/Melbourne exactly — same Fraunces serif,
     same Inter Tight body, same warm sandstone palette, same spacing rhythm.
