   narrative arc. Section backgrounds start in deepest --ink and warm/lift as the
   story ascends, so scrolling down feels like surfacing from shadow into grace.

   NO global redefs — .page-section/.crumb are shared helpers in base.css, .eyebrow
   in base.css, .btn in buttons.css, .reveal in reveal.css. Everything here is
   namespaced under .about*. Built entirely from existing tokens.
