/* Veteran Field Manual — shared article chrome.
   This block was byte-identical across all 12 article pages; it lived in 12 copies,
   which is how the tool list drifted and why a typography fix needed a scripted
   sweep across every file. It is the CONTIGUOUS PREFIX of each article's <style>,
   so linking it before the remaining inline block preserves cascade order exactly.
   Page-specific figure CSS stays inline in each article. Edit sizes/colours HERE. */
