## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

### 1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS
* **No Inline CSS:** The `style="..."` attribute is forbidden anywhere in the HTML.
* **Class/ID Selectors Only:** Every design property, layout rule, and state is applied via class/ID selectors defined in `style.css`.
* **Minimal, Semantic HTML:** Markup stays clean and structural (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section`, `article`, `footer`, correct `h1–h3` hierarchy). Restyling the site must require editing `style.css` only — never the markup.

### 1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens
All visual tokens live in `:root` in `style.css`. Use exactly these names and values (you may extend the set, never rename or bypass it):

```css
:root {
  /* Colors — Cyberpunk Neon Noir */
  --primary: #00FFFF;            /* Neon Cyan — primary accent */
  --secondary: #FF00FF;          /* Neon Pink */
  --accent-purple: #BC13FE;      /* Neon Purple */
  --bg-primary: #050512;         /* Noir base background */
  --bg-secondary: #020205;       /* "Dark City" — card/surface background */
  --text-primary: #FFFFFF;
  --text-secondary: #A9B4C9;     /* must hold ≥ 4.5:1 on both bg tokens */
  --text-success: #00FF9C;
  --text-error: #FF2A6D;
  --border-default: rgba(0, 255, 255, 0.35);
  --border-success: rgba(0, 255, 156, 0.6);
  --border-error: rgba(255, 42, 109, 0.6);

  /* Luminescent neon emission */
  --glow-text: 0 0 10px #00FFFF;
  --glow-primary: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 255, 255, 0.75);
  --glow-primary-strong: 0 0 20px rgba(0, 255, 255, 0.9), 0 0 45px rgba(0, 255, 255, 0.35);
  --glow-secondary: 0 0 10px rgba(255, 0, 255, 0.75);

  /* Shape, elevation, motion, space */
  --radius-sm: 2px;  --radius-md: 4px;  --radius-lg: 8px;   /* sharp futuristic corners */
  --shadow-sm: 0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
  --shadow-md: 0 8px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), var(--glow-primary);
  --spacing-gap: 1.5rem;
  --transition-fast: 150ms;
  --transition-normal: 300ms;
  --ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);

  /* Stacking */
  --z-dropdown: 100;  --z-modal: 200;  --z-toast: 300;  --z-scanlines: 400;
}
```

* **Contrast Pairing:** Every dark background token (`--bg-primary`, `--bg-secondary`) must pair with light text tokens (`--text-primary`, `--text-secondary`) — never dark-on-dark. Neon pink/purple are accent colors for headings, borders, and glows only — never long-form body copy.
* **Token-only styling:** The source spec's CSS intent must be expressed exclusively through variables: `background-color: var(--bg-primary); color: var(--text-primary); font-family: var(--font-base); text-shadow: var(--glow-text); border: 1px solid var(--primary); box-shadow: var(--glow-primary);`. Raw hex values may appear **only inside `:root`**.
* **Light backgrounds:** This theme has none; if a near-white surface were ever introduced, it must be `#fefefe`, never `#ffffff`.

### 1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode
Dark mode is mandatory and is the **sole theme** of this build: the full token set above is the permanent global theme (optionally mirrored under a `.dark` class on `<html>` for semantic clarity).
**Exception (per style spec `Light: ✗ No / Dark: ✓ Full`):** this landing page is dark-only — do NOT define a light palette, a theme toggle, or `localStorage` theme persistence, and ensure `prefers-color-scheme` never overrides the dark tokens.

### 1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment
* Build all layout structures with Flexbox (Tailwind `flex` utilities or CSS `display: flex`).
* **Default Alignment Rule:** Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` (`items-center`) unless an exception is explicitly justified in a CSS comment.
* **Mobile-first:** Every row (nav, feature cards, steps, pricing tiers, testimonials, footer columns) collapses to a single column on small viewports. No horizontal scrolling at any width from 320px up.

### 1.5 Framework Default: Tailwind CSS
* Load Tailwind CSS (Play CDN `<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>` is acceptable) for **structural utilities only** (flex, grid, gap, padding, responsive prefixes).
* ALL visual design (colors, glows, borders, typography, states) lives in `style.css` as reusable component classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`) that reference the `:root` tokens. Never hardcode a hex outside `:root`; never use Tailwind color utilities that bypass the tokens.

### 1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)
* **Text:** Load **Orbitron** from Google Fonts via `<link>` and bind `--font-base: 'Orbitron', sans-serif` (per the style spec) — mandatory for all display/heading/brand elements. For long-form body copy you may add exactly one complementary Google Font (e.g., Rajdhani or Exo 2) bound to `--font-body` for legibility. Load only the weights actually used.
* **Icons:** Use Google Material Symbols via the official stylesheet (`<span class="material-symbols-outlined">…</span>`). Required iconography includes the brain and gear motifs (`psychology`, `psychology_alt`, `settings`, `memory`), plus `bolt`, `shield`, `terminal`, `check_circle`, `error`, `close`, `menu`, `expand_more`, `star`, `arrow_upward`, `alternate_email`, and `progress_activity` (loading spinner).
* **Forbidden:** raw inline SVGs, local icon files, emoji-as-icons. Decorative icon spans get `aria-hidden="true"`; meaningful icons carry accessible labels.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

### 2.1 Buttons (`.btn`, variants `.btn--primary`, `.btn--secondary`, `.btn--ghost`)
* **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum touch target 44×44px, uppercase Orbitron label, 1px neon border, subtle `--glow-*` box-shadow.
* **Hover:** Intensified glow + brightness shift, `cursor: pointer`.
* **Focus:** Distinct cyan ring via global `:focus-visible` styling (outline/box-shadow built from tokens) — visible on every interactive element.
* **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
* **Loading:** `.is-loading` disables interaction, blocks double-clicks, and swaps the label for a CSS spinner or animated `progress_activity` icon without changing button dimensions.
* **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, grayscale filter, `cursor: not-allowed`.
* **Success/Error:** `.is-success` / `.is-error` feedback states styled with `--text-success` / `--text-error` plus matching border/glow.

### 2.2 Cards (`.card`, modifiers `.card--feature`, `.card--pricing`, `.card--testimonial`, `.card--featured`)
* **Default:** Flexbox layout, `background: var(--bg-secondary)`, 1px `--border-default` border, `--shadow-sm`, `--radius-md` (or a consistent chamfered `clip-path` corner treatment).
* **Hover:** `transform: translateY(-2px)` plus glow/elevation shift toward `--shadow-md`.
* **Focus-within:** Border brightens to full `--primary` when a child link/button receives focus.
* **Loading (Skeleton):** Define `.skeleton` shimmer styles (cyan-tinted, reduced-motion-safe) for any asynchronously loaded content.
* **Empty State:** Define a reusable `.empty-state` pattern — centered flex column, large Material icon, short guidance text.

### 2.3 Forms & Inputs (`.input-group`)
Used by the Final CTA email capture.
* **Structure:** Flex container wrapping a `<label>`, the `<input>`, and a dedicated error feedback element with `aria-live="polite"`.
* **States — all class-driven:** Empty; Focused (cyan ring via token-based `box-shadow`); Filled; Valid (`--border-success` + `check_circle` icon); Invalid (`--border-error`, `--text-error` message, `error` icon, `aria-invalid="true"`); Disabled; Read-only.
* Validate email format in `script.js`; never communicate state by color alone — always pair color with icon and text.

### 2.4 Modal / Popup (conditional)
This build does not require a modal; if you include one anyway (e.g., a plan-selection confirmation from Pricing), it MUST implement: opening/open/closing CSS transitions; a centered flex container (`align-items: center`) over a dimmed, blurred backdrop; a Material `close` icon button; keyboard focus trapping; close via `Esc` and overlay click; and loading/success/error states. Otherwise this subsection is void.

### 2.5 FAQ Accordion (`.faq__item`, `.faq__trigger`, `.faq__panel`)
* Button-based triggers with `aria-expanded` + `aria-controls`; panels animated via CSS only (e.g., `grid-template-rows` transition).
* `expand_more` chevron rotates 180° on open; full keyboard operability; visible focus states.

### 2.6 Toast / Live Feedback (`.toast`)
Fixed bottom-right region at `--z-toast` with `role="status"` / `aria-live="polite"`; neon-bordered dark surface; auto-dismiss with CSS transition; used for form success/error and dynamic confirmations.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

* **Responsive by Default:** Fluid type and spacing, standard breakpoints, zero horizontal overflow from 320px up; decorative effects degrade gracefully on mobile.
* **Smooth Animations:** Every state change transitions with `var(--transition-normal)` / `var(--transition-fast)` and `var(--ease-standard)`. **All ambient/decorative animation (glitch, scanline flicker, noise, shimmer, wireframe rotation) must be wrapped in `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)`** — reduced-motion users get a fully static, fully readable page.
* **Accessibility (a11y):** WCAG AA contrast throughout the dark theme; never rely on color alone to communicate state; semantic HTML5 landmarks; correct ARIA roles/labels on custom widgets; logical DOM/focus order; full keyboard operability (nav, FAQ, pricing toggle, forms); `aria-live` regions for all dynamic feedback; decorative layers are `pointer-events: none` and never trap focus.
* **Mandatory Visual Feedback:** Every click, hover, and submission triggers a visible state change.
* **Destructive Actions:** Any `.btn--danger` must be unmistakable in this dark theme (`--text-error` label, `--border-error` border, red glow) — clearly distinct from primary/secondary CTAs.
* **Anchor Navigation:** `scroll-behavior: smooth` (reduced-motion-gated) and `scroll-margin-top` on every section so the sticky nav never covers headings.

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

* **Files:** Exactly `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`. The only scripts in `index.html` are external references (Tailwind CDN if used, plus a single `<script src="script.js" defer></script>`). No inline `<script>` code blocks, no inline styles. Proper `<head>`: `lang="en"`, viewport meta, themed `<title>`, meta description.
* **Naming Convention:** One convention only — **BEM** for custom components (`.btn--primary`, `.card--pricing`, `.faq__trigger`, `.nav__link`, `.hero__title`) layered over Tailwind structural utilities. Never mix in ad-hoc naming.
* **No Unrequested Placeholders:** Write real, on-theme English copy for every section (headings, body, button labels, FAQ Q&As, testimonials with fictional names/roles, pricing tier names and features, footer link labels). Footer links without real destinations may use `href="#"` — the only permitted placeholder.
* **`script.js` scope:** Mobile nav toggle, FAQ accordion, pricing period toggle, email validation + simulated async submission (short delay to demonstrate the loading state, then success/error), toast helper. No other behavioral JS.
* **Complete on first attempt:** All sections, states, and interactions fully implemented and functional in one pass.

## 5. THEME SIGNATURE EFFECTS — CSS-ONLY MANDATES

All effects are pure CSS (gradients, pseudo-elements, keyframes, transforms). No image assets, no inline SVG, no external media.

* **5.1 CRT Scanlines:** Fixed full-viewport overlay via `body::after` — `repeating-linear-gradient` horizontal scanlines, `pointer-events: none`, `z-index: var(--z-scanlines)`, opacity ≤ ~0.15 so modals/toasts stay legible; optional slow flicker keyframe (reduced-motion-gated).
* **5.2 Hexagonal Grid Overlay:** Hero background built from CSS gradients forming a hex lattice, faded via `mask-image: radial-gradient(...)`, layered over `--bg-primary` at low opacity.
* **5.3 Digital Noise:** A subtle animated grain layer (CSS gradient flicker / animated `background-position`), very low opacity, reduced-motion-gated.
* **5.4 Glitch Effect:** Hero `<h1>` (optionally section titles on hover) uses the `attr(data-text)` pseudo-element technique — cyan/pink channel-split `text-shadow` and `clip-path` slice keyframes firing in brief periodic bursts. The headline must be fully readable at rest; glitch never runs under reduced motion.
* **5.5 Luminescent Neon Emission:** `text-shadow: var(--glow-text)` on display headings and key accents; token-based `box-shadow` glows on buttons, cards, and inputs, intensifying on hover/focus. Never glow body copy.
* **5.6 Holographic Wireframes:** Hero decoration built from bordered, `transform-style: preserve-3d` CSS shapes (slowly rotating wireframe cube/rings) or conic-gradient rings — `aria-hidden="true"`, `pointer-events: none`, static under reduced motion, simplified on small screens.

## 6. LANDING PAGE SECTION REQUIREMENTS

### 6.1 Sticky Navigation
Brand wordmark (Orbitron, glitch-on-hover), anchor links to every major section, primary CTA button, backdrop-blur dark surface with a 1px cyan bottom border. Mobile: accessible hamburger (`menu` icon, `aria-expanded`, animated slide-down panel, focus management, closes on link click and `Esc`).

### 6.2 Hero
Full-viewport section: hex-grid + holographic wireframe backdrop, glitch `<h1>` with neon glow, urgent subheadline, two CTAs (`.btn--primary` + `.btn--ghost`), and a compact stats/trust strip.

### 6.3 Features — 3 Cards
Equal-height `.card--feature` grid (stacks on mobile): Material icon (`psychology`, `memory`, `shield`/`bolt`), Orbitron title, short copy. Hover lift + glow; focus-within highlight.

### 6.4 How It Works — 3 Steps
Numbered `01 / 02 / 03` (Orbitron, neon accent), one icon and short copy per step; connected by an animated neon connector line on desktop, vertical stack on mobile.

### 6.5 Testimonials
3 `.card--testimonial` elements: CSS-built avatar (initials inside a neon-bordered shape — no images), quote, fictional name + role, `star` icon rating. One card may be visually featured.

### 6.6 Pricing — 3 Tiers
`.card--pricing` trio: entry tier, featured middle tier (elevated, `--secondary`/`--accent-purple` glow, "MOST POPULAR" badge), enterprise tier. Each: tier name, price, feature list with `check_circle` icons, CTA (featured = `.btn--primary`, others `.btn--ghost`). Include an accessible Monthly/Annual toggle (`aria-pressed`) that updates prices with a visible transition and announces changes via `aria-live`.

### 6.7 FAQ
5–6 themed Q&As using the accordion pattern from 2.5.

### 6.8 Final CTA
High-impact band with the page's strongest glow concentration: headline, supporting line, and the email-capture form from 2.3 — the submit button runs the full state machine: default → loading (spinner, no double-clicks) → success (`.is-success` + toast) or error (inline + `aria-live`). Include a one-line privacy microcopy.

### 6.9 Footer
Brand block, 2–3 columns of secondary links (Product, Company, Legal), Material-symbol social links (each with `aria-label`), copyright line, and a back-to-top control. Flex layout collapsing to a single column on mobile.
