   2026-05-13 v=9 — Article-body design pass

   Decisions and the reasoning behind them:

   1. Modular scale 1.25 (major third). Body 1.05rem; h3 1.20rem;
      h2 1.50rem; h1 already set at the page level.
      Why: tight-but-clear hierarchy that reads well at long-form length.
   2. Body line-height 1.7. Standard for ~70ch line widths.
   3. Disclaimers, bio, affiliate disclosure rendered at 0.82rem with
      reduced contrast (var(--text-muted)).
      Why: legally required, must be present, but should not dominate
      the visual weight of the article. WCAG AA contrast still preserved.
   4. FAQ items styled as flat cards with clear Q/A separation.
   5. Inline CTA paragraph (Zephyr) treated as a callout, not body copy.
