   - Gold edge/side/top bars: REMOVED as a class. Gold survives
     only as accent text and numerals. No container carries a
     gold border, gold header band, or gold side stripe.
   - The single-team watch band is gone; the slot is now the
     league-wide Marquee Board.
   - Visual life comes from verified team colors (ESPN team
     records, carried in the Cup data file): washes on matchup
     cards, color markers in tables, seed blocks on the Road.
   Display type: 'Previously Headline' (Anton) for section and
   matchup type; the hero title stays Marathon ('Previously
   Display'); body stays Inter.
