/*
 * Visa English points: the score calculator and its guides. Loaded after the site theme (theme.css) and built only
 * from its tokens: no colour literals here (a test checks), no inline styles anywhere (the CSP forbids them).
 * Classes start with ve- so the site theme cannot collide with them.
 *
 * The one idea: the official table comes alive with your scores. Four skill columns, three level rungs; the cells
 * you reach fill up their column, the rung all four reach is your level, and the next rung shows the exact gap.
 * The fill is the one authored motion (it rises once, column by column) and never runs under reduced motion.
