  /* ===== "WHAT AN AUDIT COVERS" =====
     FIXED 2026-08-01. This component was styled for a DARK panel — cream text
     (rgba(244,239,230,.85)) and a cream hairline — and it is used inside a WHITE
     section on the homepage. Cream on white is about 1.05:1, i.e. invisible, and the
     h3/p inside .audit-text inherited it because no generic type rule sets a colour.
     The numerals were gold at 14px: 3.36:1, under the 4.5:1 AA floor for text that
     size.

     Restyled for the background it is actually on. If it is ever moved onto a dark
     panel it needs a `.dark .audit-*` override rather than a revert — the fix is
     "match the background", not "prefer these colours". */

/* ── GOLD, AND WHICH GOLD ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   #b8821a is the brand gold. On the navy #14182a it measures 5.23:1 and is fine.
   On white it is 3.36:1 — below the 4.5:1 AA floor for normal text, though it clears
   the 3:1 large-text floor, which is why display sizes and non-text uses (borders,
   focus rings, bullets, hover states, the logo dot) keep it.

   #8a6212 is the same hue darkened to 5.47:1 on white. It is the one for TEXT on a
   light background: eyebrows, callout titles, numerals, path numbers. It was already
   in this codebase as an inline link colour; this promotes it from a one-off to the
   rule.

   Checked 2026-08-01 across every use of the token. Changed: .eyebrow,
   .section-eyebrow, .audit-num, .step-num, .callout-title, .path-num, and
   .vertical-icon (unused, but it shares .eyebrow's exact declaration). Knowingly
   left alone: .hero h1 em (display size, clears large-text); the dark-background
   uses, which pass; every non-text use; and .coming-soon-badge — cream on gold at
   3.17:1, but the class is unused and the vertical it advertised is shelved, so fix
   it if it is ever brought back rather than styling dead markup.

   .who overrides .section-eyebrow to #d4a44a for the navy section, so darkening the
   base rule does not touch it. */
