   Astra News Child — theme.css

   Every selector is scoped to a .news-* class. No bare h1/h2/p/a/div/button
   rules, so Elementor pages and Astra pages are never touched by this file.

   1.  Tokens (colors, fonts, weights — change them here only)
   2.  Shared primitives
   3.  Header
   4.  Ticker
   5.  Footer
   6.  Cards and grids
   7.  Homepage
   8.  Single post (article + sticky TOC sidebar)
   9.  Archive, search, 404
   9b. Astra overrides
   10. Responsive
