 * CHANGELOG v4.0.0 — Elite White Corporate Redesign
 * ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 * MAJOR OVERHAUL — Prompted by full design specification
 * 1. Global background changed from dark navy to Pure White (#FFFFFF)
 * 2. Typography: Plus Jakarta Sans (Google Fonts) replaces system font
 * 3. Font sizes increased site-wide: h1 48-56px, h2 32-36px, h3 22-24px, body 16-18px
 * 4. Transparent/overlay header on hero pages; white sticky header on scroll
 * 5. Services section: white background, video media element, 4-card grid
 * 6. City cards: dark overlay default (rgba 0,0,0,0.55), clear on hover + scale
 * 7. Why Choose Us: teal checkmark icons, video right column
 * 8. Director's Message: 3D CSS tilt hover on photo frame
 * 9. Application form: white canvas, navy header banner, clean gray border inputs
 * ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
