ADMISSION PROCESS - 5 STEP FLOW
======================================
    Neither .process-card nor .process-number had a single rule anywhere, so
    the steps rendered as loose text with a bare number. They now read as a
    connected sequence: a numbered disc, a card, and a rule joining each step
    to the next on desktop.
