  /* ==========================================================================
     Forminator dark-theme override (Issue #11)
     .mp-field/.mp-form-row/.mp-submit/.mp-upload above are a static mockup
     system that Forminator's real shortcode output never emits — Forminator
     Pro renders its OWN "forminator-ui" markup using .forminator-* prefixed
     classes (confirmed against the plugin's shipped forminator-forms.min.css
     and library/render + library/fields source). This block re-targets that
     REAL output so all 4 forms (Contact #489 in .cc-body, Review #490 /
     Solution #491 / Industry #492 in .mp-modal-form) match the dark card
     aesthetic already used elsewhere on the site. Theme CSS only — no
     plugin files are modified. !important is used because Forminator's own
     rules are scoped as .forminator-ui.forminator-custom-form[data-design]
     (specificity (0,4,0)+), which outranks a plain descendant selector.

     + forminator-form.js, both pulled from the WP.org SVN and executed in a
     Playwright harness -- not just read as source). Forminator overrides
     select2's dropdown render() to emit
     <span class="forminator-select-dropdown ..."> instead of stock select2's
     <span class="select2-dropdown">, and its dropdownCssClass option
     ("forminator-custom-form-{formid} forminator-dropdown--{theme}") is

     forminator-dropdown--default forminator-select-dropdown--below". A rule
     targeting .select2-dropdown (stock select2's class) NEVER matches here;
     .forminator-select-dropdown is the correct target. This also makes the
     rule DOM-placement-independent: for the 3 modal forms (490/491/492)
     Forminator's getDropdownParent() detects the [role="dialog"] overlay and
     re-targets to the nearest .forminator-custom-form ancestor, but for the
     Contact page form (489) -- no dialog ancestor -- it falls back to
     document.body instead; a descendant selector scoped to
     forminator-custom-form-489 would silently fail to reach it there, so a
     compound selector (both classes on one node) is required regardless.
     Scoped to the 4 registry IDs (see inc/forminator.php) so this never
     affects an unrelated/future Forminator instance elsewhere on the site. */
