   IMMIGRATIONTRIAL.COM: redesign layer, 2026-09-17
   Loaded after it.css and it.motion.css. Hand-maintained; tools/retone.py never
   touches it. Direction: a litigation boutique. Near-black navy on warm white,
   brass as a fine accent only, hairlines instead of boxes, a full-bleed hero,
   generous space, and the firm's other sites always one click away.
   Contrast for every pair here: python tools/design_check.py
