   comms.css — Communications solution surface, shared frame.
   Owns the page scope (.cx), the shared section header (.cx-head),

   the compliance strip (.cx-trust), the closing band (.cx-cta), and
   the feature sub-page template (.cxf-*). Per-set-piece animation CSS
   lives in its own scoped file (hero.css, channels.css, …).

/* Homepage backdrop, unified across every communications surface. The canonical
   light landing backdrop is owned by `.hp2-bg` (public/marketing/home2/bg.css) —
   the hub root (.cx) and every story subpage root (.cxp) carry the `hp2-bg`
   class and load bg.css, exactly like the homepage's second half, so they all
   sit on the SAME sand-blue wash (layered gradient + soft top glow + faint 46px
   blueprint grid). Sections still repaint their own bands on top; dark
   set-pieces opt out with their own bg. No page-level background is set here so
   nothing competes with hp2-bg. */
