Light mode: revert the heavy white-out scrim back to a moderate wash so the
board stays visible, and earn legibility with a soft light text-halo behind
running text instead (invisible on the solid cards, only works over the image).
Pairs with the darker light-mode text tokens.
Also append ?v=2 to every /diagrams/*.svg reference so the recoloured diagrams
bypass Cloudflare's 4h edge cache and show immediately (the SVG URLs aren't
content-hashed like the CSS bundle).
Hand-authored inline-SVG Diagram component (no runtime JS, CSP-clean,
themeable) rendering edge-AI, IaC-fleet and homelab architectures on the
case studies. Staggered CSS hero entrance, motion-aware.
