   ROOT CAUSE (2026-05-16 i_20260516T1020Z_diq5fixes CHANGE 3):
   prior attempts (cabc739 gradient ring, 8f07795 filled gradient)
   used selector `.site-nav__login` (specificity 0,1,0) but the
   parent `.site-nav a` rule (0,1,1) wins by one element token in
   the cascade. The parent's `background-clip: text` + `text-fill:
   currentColor` therefore overrode the chip's `background-clip:
   padding-box`, clipping the gradient to glyph shape and leaving
   the padding area transparent — visually a black chip with white
   text (the body's bg color shows through). Fix is a specificity
   bump to `.site-nav a.site-nav__login` (0,2,1) so the chip's
   background-clip wins. Documented in logan addendum 14 so this
   doesn't recur on a fourth iteration. */

/* ============================================================
   Spotlight glow (2026-05-18 polish, FIX round 2) — pointer-
   tracking radial gradient overlay site-wide. JS in
   scripts/spotlight-glow.js feeds the CSS variables via a
   single document-level pointermove listener. Touch devices
   skip the JS entirely; the static gradient border remains as
   fallback.

   Round-2 fixes per operator visual review:
   1. EFFECT TOO SUBTLE — bumped radius from 240px to 400px,
      opacity at center from 0.18 to 0.42, added mid-radius
      stop and mix-blend-mode: screen so the glow lights up
      against the dark card-bg.
   2. COVERAGE TOO NARROW — selector set expanded to every
      gradient-bordered container site-wide (4 home + 14
      how-it-works cards + work__items + trust__panel +
      howitworks pair-cols + howitworks what-text/finding
      panels + contact form). ~20+ containers vs the prior 4.
