/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   LEDGER — the SPINE archetype. Names no colour.

   A sticky rail of section marks runs down the left and never scrolls away;
   everything is set against it. It gives a text-only site the one thing text-
   only sites lack — a sense of place — without a photograph, a graphic or a
   line of JavaScript.

   Corporate firms run 5-8 sections, often with no phone in the header and no
   form in the hero. That is what 22 real firm sites do, and it is the opposite
   of the personal-injury shape.

   Mobile: the spine cannot survive as a column, so it becomes a rule and a
   mark above each section. The relationship is kept; only the axis changes.
