/* =============================================================
   STACKED ICON DESIGN — approach-dark.html  #cross-border .svc-card
   Adds a vertical stack layout (icon over content), larger
   featured halo, per-hue accent, and centered text. Scoped to
   #cross-border so it never affects .svc-card grids on other
   V1 pages (services, business-services, etc.). Specificity
   (1,1,0) beats the default `.svc-card` rule at L939 AND the
   responsive override at L1897, so no !important needed.
   Added 2026-05-14 per CEO directive (panchuk lane).
