Added 2026-08-13. * * These carry the declarations that were previously written as inline * style="" attributes on 180 elements across all 36 pages. Inline styles are * refused by `style-src 'self'`, so they were the entire distance between a * Report-Only CSP and an enforced one. * * Each rule reproduces its former inline declarations verbatim. * * WHY THE CLASS NAME IS REPEATED THREE TIMES * * An inline style attribute outranks every selector in this file. A plain * single-class selector does not, so a straight swap silently loses wherever a * more specific rule already targets the same property. That is not a theory — * it happened here and was caught by scripts/style-parity.py: * * article.insight p { max-width: 720px } (0,1,2) beat .u-lede (0,1,0) * -> the lede on /ai-citation-pack/, /transaction-box/, * /market-signals/ and /disposition-questions/ narrowed 760px -> 720px * .cta-block p { color: #D9DDE8 } (0,1,1) beat .u-gold (0,1,0) * -> the gold eyebrow on / turned pale blue * * Repeating the class raises specificity to (0,3,0) without !important and * without touching any existing rule. The most specific selector above is * `nav.breadcrumb li + li::before` at (0,2,3); (0,3,0) outranks it, so these * utilities now win everywhere an inline attribute used to, which is exactly * the property being preserved. Measured: 0 differences across 5,524 elements. * * Do not add a new inline style attribute to this site. Add a class here. * scripts/csp-inline-scan.mjs counts every one that reappears. * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */ .u-dre-line.u-dre-line.u-dre-line { margin-top: 1rem; font-size: 0.85rem; } .u-btn-center.u-btn-center.u-btn-center { justify-content: center; } .u-mb-15.u-mb-15.u-mb-15 { margin-bottom: 1.5rem; } .u-mb-14.u-mb-14.u-mb-14 { margin-bottom: 1.4rem; } .u-mb-03.u-mb-03.u-mb-03 { margin: 0 0 0.3rem 0; } .u-m-0.u-m-0.u-m-0 { margin: 0; } .u-fs-085.u-fs-085.u-fs-085 { font-size: 0.85rem; } .u-lede.u-lede.u-lede { font-size: 1.15rem; max-width: 760px; } .u-lede-720.u-lede-720.u-lede-720 { font-size: 1.15rem; max-width: 720px; } .u-lede-narrow.u-lede-narrow.u-lede-narrow { font-size: 1.15rem; max-width: 560px; margin: 0 auto 2rem; } .u-mw-760.u-mw-760.u-mw-760 { max-width: 760px; } .u-plain-link.u-plain-link.u-plain-link { text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } .u-note.u-note.u-note { border-left: 3px solid #C8A86E; padding: 0.75rem 1rem; margin: 1.25rem 0; background: rgba(200,168,110,0.07); } .u-note-tight.u-note-tight.u-note-tight { border-left: 3px solid #C8A86E; padding: 0.6rem 1rem; margin: 0.8rem 0; background: rgba(200,168,110,0.07); } .u-scroll-x.u-scroll-x.u-scroll-x { overflow-x: auto; } .u-muted-sm.u-muted-sm.u-muted-sm { color: var(--text-muted); font-size: 0.9rem; } .u-center-pad.u-center-pad.u-center-pad { text-align: center; padding: 4rem 0; } .u-endnote.u-endnote.u-endnote { margin-top: 3rem; padding: 1.5rem; background: var(--bg-alt); border-left: 3px solid var(--gold); font-size: 0.92rem; color: var(--text-muted); } .u-gold.u-gold.u-gold { color: var(--gold); } /* Glossary definition list — formerly the one inline
