/* Two sections landing on the same background ------------------------------
   Every content section on the service, project-type and locality pages is

   correct for whichever combination happened to be present when it was
   written. Drop one section — a locality with no cost table, a service with
   no materials block — and everything below it flips parity. The page then
   pays two full section paddings with nothing between them, around 200px of
   dead space and no visible boundary.

   Rather than hand-tuning each page, collapse the doubled padding wherever
   two same-background sections actually meet and draw a hairline instead.
   Keyed on the background class, so it fires only on a real collision and
   undoes itself the moment the section above is absent or a different colour.

   The divider sits on .prose where there is one, so it matches the text
