   Direct Skills UAE — content pages
   CMS pages and their blocks · long-form text with a contents list · the
   bank-transfer credential panel · contact · partnership application ·
   questions & answers · success stories · error and maintenance pages.

   Loaded only by those pages, after ds-home.css, whose split, panels, faq,
   quote, figures and closing components they reuse. Same rules as every ds-*
   file: colours only through --ds-* tokens, and no :hover / .is-active rule
   changes padding, margin, gap, width, font-size or font-weight.
