   seo-light.css — light editorial re-skin for the standalone dark SEO
   landing pages (india.html, us.html). Loaded AFTER each page's inline
   <style>, !important, so it flips the near-black slab to the warm-paper
   + Fraunces look shared with topic.css / compare-light.css without
   touching the page's layout. Decorative format-strip colors
   (saffron/green/indigo/navy/steel/gold) are left alone — they read fine
   as 3px accents on white cards.
