                                elevation shadow + subtle letter-spacing
   - White / ghost / outline -> keep their background, pill radius + soft shadow
   - Hover (all)             -> color invert + 2px lift + deeper shadow
   - Active (pressed)        -> settles back to 0 with a tighter shadow (tactile)
   - Focus-visible           -> accessible 3px red focus ring (keyboard only)
   - prefers-reduced-motion  -> keeps the polish, drops the lift/transform
   Paddings, font sizes and layout are left intact. Utility controls (FAQ
   accordion toggles, icon-only buttons, back-to-top, nav/menu toggles, tab
   switches) are intentionally NOT matched. The `body ` prefix lifts specificity
   above page-specific !important button rules that load after this file.

   COMPACT BUTTON SCALE (site-wide) — one small size for every CTA/form button.
   Only the label size and vertical padding are forced; horizontal padding is
   left per-button so pills with an icon chip keep the chip flush at their end.
   Chips are capped separately below, since an oversized chip (not padding) is
   what otherwise keeps a pill tall. Utility controls excluded by the same
   selector list as the rest of this block.

   UNIFORM SECTION SPACING SYSTEM  (site-wide)
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Goal: one consistent 80px vertical rhythm across every page.

     • Content sections   → 80px top/bottom padding, no vertical margins
                            (consecutive white sections sit flush = seamless).
     • Colored/dark/grad. → 80px padding + 80px top/bottom margin so they are
       sections            clearly separated from their white neighbours.
     • Heroes & accent     → left untouched (bespoke full-bleed designs):
       bands               any *hero* class, trust-strip, ecn-blue-band,
                           ep2 banner/overlap pieces.

   Specificity note: Bootstrap 5 spacing utilities (.py-5, .my-lg-5, ...) and
   most per-page padding are emitted as `!important`. `body section[class]`
   (0,0,1,2) out-ranks a single utility class (0,0,1,0), and the exclusion
   list is wrapped in :where() so it adds ZERO specificity — keeping the base
   rule and the colored-margin rule at equal weight, resolved by source order.

/* ==========================================================================
   FINAL CTA BUTTONS — site-wide (.cta-final-section .cta-btn-row)
   Every page that renders ech_render_final_cta() now matches the pricing
   page's hero-actions treatment exactly: solid red / 8px pill / no shadow /
   black hover for the single or primary button, transparent + inset-border
   / light-gray hover for an optional second (alt) button. A lone button
   (no alt) naturally gets the primary treatment, since it's just
   .btn-cta-final with no .btn-cta-final-alt.

   Specificity note: the "GLOBAL UNIFIED BUTTON STYLE" rules above target
   `body .btn:not([class*="outline"]):not([class*="ghost"]):not([class*="light"])
   :not(.btn-ep2-cta)` (and its `:hover`) — each `:not()` clause adds a class
   to that selector's specificity, so it outranks a plain `.cta-final-section
   .cta-btn-row .btn-cta-final` override even with `!important`.
   `.cta-final-section` is repeated below purely to raise specificity above
   that rule (and its one-class-higher `:hover` variant) — it has no effect
   on layout.
