/* Home page "Your Representation" trust teaser: on desktop .hero-trust-split is
   just an ordinary two-column .split (photos in column 1, the .hero-trust-text
   wrapper in column 2 with heading+body stacked inside it normally) — nothing
   special happens here at desktop widths. The reordering only kicks in on mobile
   (see the breakpoint below), where display:contents dissolves the wrapper so
   heading/body become independent flex items that can be reordered relative to
   the photos, without duplicating any content. An earlier version tried to do
   this with grid-template-areas and a row-spanning photos block, which caused
   CSS Grid to distribute row height unevenly between the heading and body rows,
   opening a large unwanted gap — flex+order avoids that entirely, since each
   item is sized independently instead of sharing row tracks. */
