/* =========================================================
   GATEWAYS EDUCATION & WELLBEING — shared stylesheet
   Concept: "Many paths, one gateway" — calm paper, winding paths,
   reaching stars. Each service has its own colour world taken
   from its logo (set by the body class: theme-ap, theme-tuition,
   theme-explorers). Edit the tokens below to restyle everything.
