FAQ PAGE — statSCALAR Enterprise Design System
Scope   : resources/views/front/faq.blade.php
Depends : root.css (site-wide :root variables, reset, .container, .ss-btn,
          .ss-badge, .ss-card, typography) — already loaded globally, so it
          is NOT duplicated here.
Note    : This file is a page-scoped extract of sections 95–100 from the
          master custom.css ("Smart Knowledge Search" through "Enterprise
          Help Banner"), cleaned up and extended with a small number of new
          rules (clearly marked) to support the search box and category
          filter pills now wired up in the improved blade.
