/* ============================================================
   MORETECH -- ABOUT PREVIEW
   First-party markup + CSS (see partials/about_preview.php's own header
   for the full rationale). Every recurring visual value is a real --mt-*
   token.

   Design Language v2 (MoreTech craftsmanship pass): an EDITORIAL
   asymmetric split (wider narrative column, a framed visual), a kicker
   header, mission/vision as accent-edged blocks, and -- the section's
   real hierarchy device -- a divided STAT BAND with oversized figures.
   Class hooks (.mt-about, .mt-about__container/__row/__content/__eyebrow/
   __title/__lead/__actions/__cta-btn/__visual/__secondary/__mv/__mv-item/
   __mv-icon/__mv-label/__mv-text/__features/__feature/__feature-icon/
   __stats/__stat, and the --stacked / --split-media-start modifiers) are
   UNCHANGED. The two real Live-UAT layout bug fixes (__content:only-child
   width cap; --stacked __content flex reset) are preserved verbatim.

/* ============================================================
   PLUSFAB ABOUT v2 (2026-10-01, client revision) -- "WORKSHOP SHEET".
   Appended after the v1 layer; same markup, content and compositions.
   1. A faint technical-drawing grid fades in behind the image side of
      the intro (drawing-office detail, not decoration).
   2. The image sits on a BRUSHED-STAINLESS mount with a solid graphite
      block offset behind it -- a fabricated, layered plate. Copper
      corner brackets are kept.
   3. Mission / vision / specification list / stats move onto a DEEP
      GRAPHITE "spec plate" (brushed grain, copper corner brackets): the
      dark counterpart to the white intro, and a white -> dark -> grey
      rhythm with Services below. Text is re-toned for the dark plate;
      stats close the plate with white Archivo figures and copper rules.
