/* Mascotte.AI, the soft-skills site (draft, 2026-09-24).
 *
 *  A separate site beside the live one in web/mascotte/: nothing here is read
 *  by those pages and nothing of theirs is changed. It borrows their media
 *  (../img/) and nothing else. Structure and copy follow Leonardo's Canva board
 *  and "Mascotte AI web copy.pdf".
 *
 *  LIGHT, NOT DARK (Leonardo, 2026-09-24: "dont like the dark mode .. keep it
 *  light white theme first"). The Canva board is dark; its structure is kept,
 *  its ground is not. Even the hero is white: the video shows through a white
 *  wash, not a dark one.
 *
 *  Plain CSS, no build, like the rest of web/. Edit the copy in index.html.
