/* Dukes Buying Guide — bg19 renovation pass, 20 August 2026.
   ONE coherent cascade replacing the bg2→bg18 layer stack: every verdict
   Aarav gave across those passes is encoded here as the base, not as an
   override fighting an earlier block.

   Page-scoped by body class; the shared shell and every other route are
   untouched. Palette family: DUKES_DESIGN_AUTHORITY §3 — this page owns
   the petrol pairing. Colour jobs: petrol = decisive bands (hero,
   differences, handover, assistant bookend); oxblood = actions, kickers
   and THE binding line; gold = identity accent on petrol only;
   teal/stone/blush fields = the three chapters, cooling to warming as
   the purchase moves from preparation to commitment.

   Kept verdicts (do not regress):
     - tenant-guide hero composition: inset media card LEFT, copy RIGHT;
     - chapter-tinted decision plates, never stark white on the islands;
     - centred chapter heads over their split;
     - parchment document slots (the pale wash read as empty);
     - route cards carry their chapter's field colour (the colour key);
     - handover: one oxblood action, gold-named Amrit, softened body;
     - no marquee/rolling strips anywhere.

   New in bg19 (the renovation):
     - hero base numerals rail (09 / 03 / 01) — proof type, fills the base;
     - route cards carry media slots (three new labelled placeholders);
     - the chapter docket under each sticky slot (kills the void below);
     - questions run as a split: sticky lockup left, answer plates right;
     - the handover carries testimony: a real, sourced Google review.

   JS contracts (buyers-guide.mjs + home-section-nav.mjs) — every hook
   kept verbatim: [data-bgx-*], [data-bgf-rail], .bgf-decision,
   .bgf-versus, .bgf-answer, .bgf-route__list a, .bgf-phase__visual,
   .bgf-threshold, .bgf-button, .bgx-armed/.is-in, [data-hxnav],
