/* Simple Certified Payroll, public pages. Design pass 8 Nov 2026 (unslop by @heydamir, CC BY 4.0, for the method).
   Direction: exact, ledger-like, steady. World: a site trailer office, paper payroll forms. The moments are the product
   window (the week grid with one shortfall line) and the WH-347 sheet. Signature: the WH-347 column codes, set in mono,
   like "(6A)", used as section tags and in the product frames, nowhere else. */
