/* =========================================================================
   about.css — About page.

   Rebuilt from a plain document layout into something with the same energy
   as the rest of the site: full-bleed black and grey bands, oversized
   display type, a running ticker, numbered sections, and a hover-reactive
   experience ledger. Reuses the tokens declared in css/style.css :root.

   Palette discipline matches the homepage — black and light grey do the
   structural work, orange is reserved for accents and interaction. No
   rounded corners, no soft shadows.
