   ========================================================================== */
/*
1.3.0
- Added a dedicated, smaller .page-title size (clamp 1.8rem-2.2rem / 28px-
  35px) for standard pages (About, Contact, etc.), separate from post
  titles which keep the larger --fs-h1 scale. A short one-word title like
  "About" looked disproportionately large at the post-title size.
- page.php now calls the default get_sidebar() instead of get_sidebar('main'):
  it was pointed at a separate, empty "Main Sidebar" widget area rather
  than the "Blog Post Sidebar" already used (and likely already populated)
  on single.php — that mismatch is what made the sidebar look "completely
  missing" on pages specifically.
- Footer logo: reverted from a CSS filter (flat white silhouette) back to
  a white background chip (.footer-logo-wrapper), restoring the logo's
  actual navy/cyan brand colors instead of flattening it to solid white.

1.2.0
- H1 titles were clamping up to 2.75rem (44px) on desktop, above spec.
  Tightened to clamp(1.75rem, 1.5rem + 1.2vw, 2.5rem) — 28px mobile floor
  up to a hard 40px desktop ceiling, with tuned line-height/margin.
- Fixed footer logo disappearing entirely on sites that never set a logo
  under Customize > Site Identity: the_custom_logo() had no fallback, so
  Column 1 rendered nothing. Now falls back to the theme's bundled logo
  file, matching header.php's existing fallback behavior.
- Footer widget titles: reduced font-size (0.9rem -> 0.78rem) for better
  proportion, and explicitly added .widget-title to the white-text/heading
  override for extra robustness.
- Added archive.php: category, tag, date, and author archives previously
  had no dedicated template and fell back to index.php's homepage grid
  layout with no sidebar. Now a proper 2-column layout (post list +
  the same "Blog Post Sidebar" used on single.php) renders consistently
  across all archive types.

1.1.0
- Added page.php: standard WordPress Pages (About, Contact, etc.) previously
  had no dedicated template and fell back to index.php's blog-card grid
  layout, forcing full page content into a boxed excerpt-style card. Pages
  now render as clean full-width content with a proper 2-column layout.
- Registered a new "Main Sidebar" (functions.php) and sidebar-main.php,
  separate from the Blog Post Sidebar, for the right-hand column on pages.
- Removed comments_template() from page.php as well as single.php — no
  comment form or list anywhere on the site.
- Footer logo moved from a separate full-width row into Column 1 itself
  (using the_custom_logo(), no background chip), so Column 1 now aligns
  evenly with Columns 2-4 instead of starting lower than them.
- Removed the comment section from single posts entirely (template call
  removed) and closed commenting off functionally site-wide (comments_open
  and pings_open filtered to false), not just hidden from view.
- Fixed footer spacing: reduced excess vertical gap between the logo and
  the start of the widget columns (container top padding 3rem -> 1.75rem,
  logo margin-bottom 1.5rem -> 1rem).
- Footer widget headings (any level, including raw Heading blocks added
  directly in the block-based Widgets screen) now always render white,
  matching the template, instead of falling back to default black styling.
- Neutralized the light-sidebar .widget background/border style from
  leaking into footer widget columns.

1.0.0
- Initial theme build: homepage, single post template with sticky TOC and
  callout boxes, monetization sidebar, footer, security hardening, and
  brand color system.
