/* ==================================================================
   Smart Grid Lab – "Join Us" page (/join/) and the private application
   page (/join/apply/).

   Every rule is scoped under .apply-page, so the rest of the site
   (franklin.css, basic.css, custom.css) is unaffected. Fonts, heading
   sizes and heading markup come from franklin.css like on every other
   page; this file only adds the SDSU colors and the form styling.

   SDSU palette (brand.sdsu.edu): Dark Red #A6192E (primary accent),
   Dark Teal #008080 (secondary accent), Charcoal #2D2828 (text),
   Light Gray #CDCDC8 (decorative rules only).
   Contrast: text >= 4.5:1, control borders and focus rings >= 3:1.
   Corners: square everywhere via --ap-radius (radio buttons,
   checkboxes and slider thumbs keep their native round shapes).
================================================================== */
