    /* v2 DARK theme (Vince course-correct 2026-09-22): charcoal grounds, light text, red
       (script-logo) + steel-blue accents, matching the rebuilt home. The --steel-* names are
       kept but now map to CHARCOAL surfaces so the token-driven components (cards, sections,
       tiles) go dark automatically. The jobsite photos (hero-media, photoband, story-photo)
       stay, so this is photo-rich dark, not flat black. White "breathing" sections + white
       cards are layered onto the money pages per page. */
