   Homepage v2 redesign — 2026-08-09
   New rules only. Every selector below is either brand-new
   (no other template references it) or explicitly scoped under
   an already home.html-only parent (.hero, .founder, .topcourses,
   .toolsband). The one exception, .corp .cstat.first, is a new
   modifier selector added under the shared .corp component; it
   only matches elements that carry the added "first" class, which
   only home.html's corp band uses, so workshops-hub.html's corp
   band (2 plain .cstat rows, no "first" class) is unaffected.
