/*
Theme Name: Growth Engine — Cui Law Group
Theme URI: https://app.growth.previewapps.org
Author: Growth Engine
Author URI: https://app.growth.previewapps.org
Description: Cui Law Group brand variant of the Growth Engine theme. Faithfully reproduces the cui-law.vercel.app navigation, footer, blog list, and article-page chrome so a reverse-proxied WordPress blog (mounted at /blog/*) is visually indistinguishable from the rest of the cui-law site. Adds a sticky right-side sidebar (auto-built table of contents + Free Consultation card) on single posts.
Version: 2.1.0
Requires at least: 6.0
Tested up to: 6.6
Requires PHP: 7.4
