/* ============================================================
   AUTHORS PAGE -- rv2 redesign
   Converted from the editorial (Instrument Serif / dark hero)
   design to the shared rv2 / LandingV2 system: Inter, light
   tint bands, eyebrow pills, rounded white cards, brand blue
   #00B4FF, orange #FFAA00 reserved for the main commit CTA,
   full dark mode via body.dark-mode. Class names kept (.authors-*)
   so the wizard markup stays stable; only the styling changes.
   Tokens resolve from brand-tokens.css with safe fallbacks.
