/* =========================================================
   RESOURCES.CSS — Master Resource Center Template (blogs.html
   and, going forward, faq.html and future resource pages reuse
   this design language). Deliberately distinct from service.css,
   partnership.css, and industry.css: an editorial "insights feed"
   hero panel, a featured-article spread, a magazine article grid,
   rotating-gradient-border category cards, a live trending spotlight
   with scrolling topic tickers, horizontal popular-article rows, a
   floating-graphic newsletter panel, and role-based author cards with
   a spinning gradient ring and mouse-driven tilt. Now shared by
   faq.html too, adding a glass knowledge-base search bar and hero
   quick-jump pills. Reuses main.css primitives (hero mechanics,
   buttons, cta-band, acc-item, timeline-v) and home.css cross-page
   primitives (mini-grid, float-cards) but owns every component below.
