/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Shared content blocks
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Section primitives used across the home page and (from the next pass) the
   How it works, Workflows and About pages. Built entirely from the existing
   --al-* tokens: no new colours, no new type, no animation, no shadows.

   Rules held here deliberately:
   - Parallel columns sit on ONE grid. A long string in one cell can never push
     its neighbour out of step, because every row is a grid row.
   - No hover lift, no glow, no bloom on any card.
   - Borders are self-coloured (white at low alpha) so they read as a lip
     catching light rather than a drawn contrasting outline.
   - No metadata pills, no icon tiles, no decorative rules beside labels.
