/* -------------------------------------------------------------
 * 19c. Raw <table> framing & centring (no <figure> wrapper)
 *
 * Authoring path: a writer pastes plain HTML <table> markup
 * into the post body via the Custom HTML block or the Classic
 * editor. The result is a <table> sitting as a direct child of
 * .entry-content with NO <figure class="wp-block-table">
 * wrapper around it.
 *
 * 19b's frame (border + radius + soft shadow) lives on the
 * <figure>, which is why a Gutenberg Table block looks framed
 * but a raw <table> from the Custom HTML block does not — and
 * why v26.9.2 explicitly removed the broken
 * `display: block; overflow-x: auto` raw-table fallback (which
 * stripped the table formatting context and didn't actually
 * scroll, since overflow does not apply to display:table).
 *
 * 19c gives the <table> ELEMENT itself a frame, by:
 *
 *   - Switching to `border-collapse: separate; border-spacing:
 *     0` so border-radius actually clips. With the default
 *     `border-collapse: collapse` the corner cells paint over
 *     the table border and ignore the table's border-radius —
 *     this is the documented root cause of "rounded tables
 *     don't work" on the web platform.
 *   - Applying the same hairline border, --pcc-radius-md
 *     corners, --pcc-surface fill, and --pcc-shadow-card-soft
 *     drop-shadow that 19b puts on `.wp-block-table` — so a
 *     raw table now reads as the same visual primitive as a
 *     Gutenberg one.
 *   - Rounding the four CORNER CELLS to match the table's
 *     border-radius. Cell backgrounds (the Bricolage kicker
 *     band on thead, the --pcc-bg-soft tfoot band) otherwise
 *     paint into the rounded corner and visually un-round it,
 *     because `overflow: hidden` on a display:table element
 *     has no effect. Matching radii on the corner cells is
 *     the canonical workaround.
 *
 * Centring is done at the block level: `margin: 1.75em auto`
 * with `width: max-content` so small spec tables (like a
 * 5-row × 2-col PSU sheet) shrink-wrap to their natural width
 * and sit centred in the post column, and `max-width: 100%`
 * so a wide table still caps at the column edge instead of
 * blowing out the gutter. Below 600px the rule flips to
 * `width: 100%` so the table fills the narrow viewport
 * instead of being stranded with empty side margins.
 *
 * Scoping: `.entry-content > table` matches raw tables only.
 * Gutenberg's <figure.wp-block-table> wrapper makes block
 * tables a grand-child of .entry-content, so they stay on
 * 19b's figure-frame path and don't double-up the chrome.

/* -------------------------------------------------------------
 * 20c. Team compact — inline roster pills (Contact, etc.)
 *      Rendered by [pcc_team layout="compact"] (see
 *      mu-plugins/pcc-site-structure.php). Each <li> is a
 *      pill-shaped link: 36px avatar, then a text stack (name +
 *      role label + explanation) in Inter, soft-band card chrome
 *      that tints to --pcc-accent-a08 / --pcc-accent-a30 on hover.
 *      The chrome reuses the same hairline / soft-band / accent
 *      vocabulary as .pcc-single__author and .pcc-related-story
 *      so the roster slots cleanly into either .entry-content,
 *      the team / about page, or the sidebar without further
 *      scoping. The name uses the body Inter stack (matching the
 *      sidebar link-typography sweep in section 24).
