SCSS for the /news newspaper front page (companion to sow-nodebb-plugin-pages#8):
- Replaces the old news list+sidebar block with double-rule, featured-story grid, and thin-ruled row styles; keeps .sow-list-date (still used by home).
- Removes dead .sow-news-layout / .sow-list-item selectors and adds responsive rules (featured stacks headline → dateline → image → excerpt at ≤900px; rows stack image-first at ≤580px).
Verified in the sow-nodebb dev stack at desktop/900px/580px.

Code blocks in posts rendered with the markdown plugin's default light highlight.js theme — white blocks on the dark ledger. This adds dark velvet pre/code styling and a Westgate-toned syntax palette (gold keywords, ledger-ink titles, muted green strings) for post content and the composer preview.
Also picks up the quick wins from an impeccable audit:
- Visible focus ring on the mobile drawer search (input had `outline: 0` with no replacement)
- Input placeholder contrast raised to pass WCAG 4.5:1; tagsinput placeholder reuses the token instead of `$gray-500`
- `prefers-reduced-motion` block zeroing transitions/animations (there were none before)
- Fixed a stray `</li>` closing a `<div>` in `quick-search-results.tpl`

The file-based pages plugin ships templates using sow-* classes that had no CSS anywhere (live never had them either — the classes render unstyled today). Adds scss/westgate/_pages.scss following DESIGN.md: velvet panels, gilt-edge borders, Cinzel etched headings, dark-gold-plate primary buttons, responsive grids.
