   ABOUT PAGE — page-specific styles only (about.css)
   Global rules (reset, colors, fonts, .container, .btn, .card, .hero,
   .section, .section-head, .grid, navbar, footer) live in /style.css.
   Colors/fonts come only from the §6/§7 variables — no new colors.
   Scroll/load reveals are AOS (data-aos in the HTML); hovers are pure CSS.
   The timeline line "draws" off AOS's own .aos-animate class — no second
