   .custom-block-section
     Full browser-width outer band. Background-color (set inline) spans
     edge-to-edge because this element is a direct child of the theme body
     and is not constrained by .wrapper. Vertical padding provides the
     band's visual height so adjacent coloured sections do not collide.

   .custom-block-inner
     Re-uses .wrapper to keep the content column aligned with the rest of
     the site (same max-width, same gutters). Declared as a modifier here
     so the wrapper's centring still applies even when admins add custom
     page CSS.

   .custom-block-grid
     Horizontal layout primitive inside the centred inner container.
     Variants: --1 (single centred column), --2 (two equal columns with
     a gap), --3 (three equal columns with a gap). All variants collapse
     responsively on smaller viewports so content stays readable.
