/* ══ Founder proof cards: styling pass (layout unchanged) ══════════
   Three fixes drive this block:
   1. The accent card set its kicker to the same accent as its own
      background, so the label was invisible; its body copy sat at
      3.58:1. Deepening the card to accent-deep puts white type at
      5.09:1 and makes the kicker readable.
   2. The icon tile was styled differently on each of the three cards.
   3. The description was clipped to one line by a nowrap ellipsis. */
