/* ======================================================================
   Product categories — Cohort 9 (Verdant Mart — REDESIGN)
   Rebuilt from sandbox Design-9. Self-contained palette + font stack
   scoped to .product-categories-9-strip so the cohort renders correctly
   even when mixed-and-matched with other cohorts' sections.

   Image-hero banners (1/2/3-col): full-bleed photo, dark green gradient
   overlay at the bottom, count tag chip top-right, name + Explore CTA
   bottom-left. Distinct from T8 (small horizontal pill cards).
   Class pattern: product-categories-9-{element}.
