   2026-06-09 (migration spec B1 — docs/legacy-pages-styles-alt-
   migration-spec-2026-06-08.md). One CSS port serves all 8
   success-story pages; the team-bio (vcard) pages and the
   BuildingPulse Get wizard also reference the dark-theme tokens
   and .btn-primary / fadeIn below from their inline <style>.

   Notes:
   - The :root tokens below are the styles.css variables these rules
     reference. Namespaces verified disjoint with styles-alt.css's own
     tokens (--teal and --teal-bright exist in both with identical
     values and are NOT re-declared here).
   - Three selectors collide with styles-alt.css components used by
     modern pages (.prose — cortex.html, .timeline — our-story.html,
     .accent — descendant rules sitewide). Those, plus the dark page
     canvas from styles.css's body/body::after, are scoped under
     body.page-dark, which the migrated dark legacy pages opt into.
