/* === KEY POINTS (Service CPT — alternating image+text rows) =========================
   Added 2026-05-29 (Option C intro restructure for Service CPT).
   Revised 2026-05-29 late — make text-only rows ALSO alternate left/right
   so visual rhythm holds before imagery attaches.
   Sits between .intro (H2 + paragraph) and .ops-signals (What we cover).
   Grid: always 2 columns (1fr 1fr). Text always sits in one half; the other
   half holds the image (or stays empty when no image is attached, so the
   alternation reads even on text-only rows).
   Scoped to .service-main so it cannot bleed into other templates. */
