Research direction

Start by opening the supplied index.html and index.css in Safari on iOS 18.0.1 and Firefox on Fedora 41, then compare the result with the MDN text-align page and its css.properties.text-align report. Confirm whether the observed button alignment is caused by Safari support; done means a reproducible browser-specific result and a justified update or closure.
