/* Help Center design layer.
 *
 * The presentation layer for Components/Pages/HelpCenterPage.razor. Global CSS,
 * linked from App.razor — it was Blazor-scoped until the stylesheets were
 * consolidated under wwwroot/css. The same two rules pages/home.css,
 * pages/saas-pricing.css and pages/blog-index.css call out apply:
 *
 * 1. Nothing confines these rules to this page any more, so every selector is
 *    qc- prefixed or a descendant of one. That still holds for the two rules
 *    that reach inside <LeadForm />: they hang off .qc-panel__form, so they
 *    cannot touch the same form anywhere else on the site.
 * 2. @keyframes carry the same qc- prefix the sibling sheets use for their own,
 *    so they cannot collide with the compiled Tailwind bundle, with Home's qh-
 *    animations, pricing's qp- ones or the blog's qb- ones — the generator does
 *    suffix keyframe names here, but the prefix keeps that a belt-and-braces
 *    detail rather than the thing the page depends on.
 *
 * These rules are unlayered and Tailwind v4's utilities live inside @layer, so
 * they win regardless of specificity. Keep every selector class-based and
 * prefixed.
 *
 * Palette is the logo ramp shared with the pricing and blog pages: #a22dea
 * (magenta-violet) → #7b5ee5 → #5b5de2 (indigo-blue), with #4f46e5 → #7c3aed as
 * the primary. No hue from outside that ramp appears on this page.
 *
 * Reading order the layout is built around: hero → four module groups, each a
 * headed band of cards → the shortlist form, held in a sticky rail beside them
 * so the one conversion point on the page never scrolls away. Cards still print
 * no article count, for the reason the .razor comment gives.
