/* about.css: only /about (CORE-748, 22.10.2026). A page stylesheet on purpose, like trust.css and
   integrations.css: every page loads styles.css and the asset budget (scripts/check-asset-budget.mjs)
   leaves almost no room there. The page keeps the daylight recipe of styles.css (svc-hero--day, day-quiet,
   day-close) and adds three things: the Düsseldorf photo beside its text, the vision as a calm three-step
   path on the page ground (no plates, no numbers, the steps are named in words), and the large
   "We are not your competitor." statement with the partnership button.
   Flat: no outlines or frames; the only lines are the path's hairline and the section hairlines.
   Risks / what goes stale silently: the vision copy (ab.vi.*) states a direction, not features. When
   direct connections to order systems or accounting go live, or Brand Health is renamed, edit the
   ab.vi.next.* / ab.vi.then.* keys. The photo (assets/about/duesseldorf.jpg, 1400x1424, black and white)
   sits on a quiet grey plate, so a missing file shows a calm surface instead of a broken image. */
