   GSA Buildwell - "t8" Signature header / hero / footer
   Adapted from Template 8. Self-contained (no Bootstrap 5 required):
   navbar, hero cover + lead form, and footer are hand-built with fl\/grid
   so they run on the existing Bootstrap 3 + jQuery stack.
   All selectors are scoped under .t8-* to avoid clashing with the theme.
