/* ====== SPOTLIGHT v1 — Canonical Personal Brand Template ======
   Canonical rules (locked 2026-06-08):
   1. Every site requires a favicon + a logo asset
   2. Real social SVG icons only — never font-letter substitutes
   3. Header layout: site title left · menu center · social icons right · no "Home" in menu
   4. Yellow is for buttons, eyebrows, accents, brand mark — never body-text or headline highlighting
   5. Eyebrow / title line under H1 = same color as H1, not body grey
   6. Blog index is straight post cards, no hero
   7. Connect page is "ways to reach" for business-owner customers (not "follow me")
   8. All card content must contain — overflow-wrap: anywhere on long URLs
