## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

### 1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS
* **No Inline CSS:** The `style="..."` attribute is forbidden anywhere in `index.html`.
* **Class/ID Selectors Only:** Every design property, layout rule, and state is applied via class or ID selectors in `style.css`.
* **Minimal HTML Modifications:** HTML must remain semantic and style-agnostic (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section`, `article`, `footer`). Restyling the page must never require markup edits.

### 1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens (Capsule Design System)
Define all tokens in `:root`:

* **Colors:** `--primary: #E85D4E` (coral); `--secondary: #C4D94E` (lime); `--accent-lavender: #C5B5E0`; `--accent-sky: #8BB4F7`; `--accent-violet: #A06CE8`.
* **Surfaces & Text:** `--bg-primary: #F5F5F0` (warm bone); `--bg-secondary: #fefefe` (cards — never `#ffffff`); `--text-primary: #1A1A1A`; `--text-secondary: #57574E`; `--text-success: #3F6E21`; `--text-error: #B3261E`; `--border-default: rgba(26,26,26,0.12)`; `--border-error: #E85D4E`; `--border-success: #C4D94E`.
* **Contrast Pairing (mandatory in every theme):** Every pastel fill (coral, lime, lavender, sky, violet) pairs with dark text `#1A1A1A` via a `--text-on-fill` token. Pastel hues may be used as text color only at large display sizes — never for small body text on light backgrounds.
* **Radii:** `--radius-sm: 12px`; `--radius-md: 24px`; `--radius-lg: 32px`; `--radius-pill: 999px` (the signature Capsule radius for badges, buttons, and chips).
* **Shadows (subtle lift):** `--shadow-sm: 0 2px 8px rgba(26,26,26,0.06)`; `--shadow-md: 0 8px 24px rgba(26,26,26,0.12)`.
* **Spacing & Transitions:** `--spacing-gap: 1.5rem`; `--transition-fast: 200ms`; `--transition-normal: 250ms`; `--ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`. All hover transitions must run **200–250ms** per the Capsule spec.
* **Elevation:** `--z-dropdown: 1000`; `--z-modal: 2000`; `--z-toast: 3000`.
* **Typography Tokens:** `--font-display: 'Bodoni Moda', serif` (hero headlines, section titles, prices); `--font-base: 'Space Grotesk', sans-serif` (all body copy, labels, buttons).

### 1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode
* **Exception clause:** The source style specification lists Dark Mode as "None" (light-only); Dark Mode is nevertheless architecturally mandatory and must be fully implemented — do not omit it.
* Implement a **"Pastel Night"** dark theme: `--bg-primary: #16161A`; `--bg-secondary: #22222A`; `--text-primary: #F5F5F0`; `--text-secondary: #B8B8B0`; accents brightened for contrast (coral `#F07A6C`, lime `#D4E86A`, lavender `#D4C6EC`, sky `#A3C4F9`, violet `#B48CF0`). Pastel fills keep `#1A1A1A` text via `--text-on-fill`.
* Provide tokens under both `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` and a `.dark` class on `<html>` (class takes precedence).
* Persist the user's choice in `localStorage`; first visit falls back to `prefers-color-scheme`. Render a visible pill-shaped toggle in the nav with correct `aria-pressed` and `aria-label` ("Switch to dark mode" / "Switch to light mode") and a Material Symbol icon.
* Theme switching must be variable-only — no HTML restructuring.

### 1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment
* Build all layout structures with **Flexbox**. Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` unless an exception is explicitly justified in a CSS comment.
* **Mobile-first:** nav, feature grid, pricing grid, testimonial grid, and footer columns collapse to a single column below 768px. No horizontal scrolling at any viewport width.

### 1.5 Framework Default
* Use Tailwind CSS (CDN) or clean custom CSS; if Tailwind is used, utilities must map back to the CSS variables above or to reusable component classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.pill-badge`, `.input-group`). Do not introduce any other framework.

### 1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)
* Load via Google Fonts `<link>`: **Bodoni Moda** (weights 400, 700, plus italic 400 for Y2K flair) and **Space Grotesk** (400, 500, 700). Bind them to `--font-display` and `--font-base`.
* Icons: **Google Material Symbols only**. Inline SVGs and local icon files are forbidden.
* Imagery: no photographs or external images. All decoration is CSS-drawn flat capsule shapes and pastel blocks (`aria-hidden="true"`), and avatars are initial letters inside pastel circles.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

### 2.1 Button Component (`.btn` + BEM modifiers)
* **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem; border-radius: var(--radius-pill); padding: 0.5rem 1.5rem;` minimum touch target 44×44px; `font-family: var(--font-base)`.
* **Variants:** `.btn--primary` (coral fill, `--text-on-fill` text), `.btn--secondary` (lime fill), `.btn--ghost` (transparent, 2px `--border-default` border), `.btn--danger` (visually distinct in both themes).
* **Hover:** brightness/shadow shift within 200–250ms, `cursor: pointer`.
* **Focus:** distinct visible ring built from CSS variables (`outline`/`box-shadow`) for keyboard navigation.
* **Active:** `transform: scale(0.97)` click feedback.
* **Loading:** `.btn--loading` disables pointer events, prevents double submission, and renders a CSS spinner or animated Material Symbol without distorting button dimensions.
* **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, grayscale, `cursor: not-allowed`.
* **Success/Error:** temporary feedback states driven by `--text-success`/`--text-error`, always paired with an icon or text — never color alone.

### 2.2 Card Component (`.card`)
* **Default:** flexible Flexbox layout, `--bg-secondary` surface, 1px `--border-default` border, `border-radius: var(--radius-lg)`, `--spacing-gap` padding, subtle `--shadow-sm`.
* **Hover:** `transform: translateY(-2px)` lift with shadow shift to `--shadow-md` (200–250ms).
* **Focus-within:** border shifts to `--primary` when a child link/button receives focus.
* **Loading:** skeleton shimmer animation defined purely in CSS — no layout jumps.
* **Empty State:** structured fallback with a Material Symbol and clear guidance text.
* **Capsule signature:** every card carries at least one `.pill-badge` (`border-radius: 999px; padding: 0.5rem 1.5rem`) in a pastel fill with `--text-on-fill` text.

### 2.3 Form & Input Requirements (Final CTA email capture)
* **Structure:** `.input-group` flex container wrapping a `<label>`, an `<input type="email">`, and a dedicated error feedback element with `aria-live="polite"`.
* **States via classes:** empty, focused (outline ring from variables), filled, valid (success border + check Material Symbol), invalid (error border, `--text-error` message, error icon), disabled, read-only.
* **Submit flow:** button enters loading state, then success state with visible confirmation; invalid email shows an inline error message — never color-only feedback.

### 2.4 FAQ Accordion & Modal Rules
* **FAQ:** build as an accessible accordion — each toggle is a pill-shaped `<button>` with `aria-expanded` and `aria-controls`; a plus Material Symbol rotates 45° on open; panel height animates via CSS transition; fully keyboard operable.
* **If any modal is used** (e.g., plan details): design states for opening, open, loading, success/error, and closing — all CSS-animated; centered flex overlay (`align-items: center`) with backdrop; Material Symbol close button; keyboard focus trapping; close via `Esc` or overlay click; `role="dialog"` and `aria-modal="true"`.

### 2.5 Landing Page Section Build Map
* **Nav (sticky):** capsule wordmark in Bodoni Moda, pill nav links with smooth-scroll to sections, theme toggle, coral `.btn--primary` CTA. Collapses to a column menu on mobile.
* **Hero:** full-width on `--bg-primary` with flat CSS capsule shapes floating in all five pastel hues (decorative, `aria-hidden`); eyebrow `.pill-badge`; H1 in Bodoni Moda (large, tight leading, one italic word for Y2K flair); Space Grotesk subheadline; two CTAs (primary + ghost).
* **Features (3 cards):** one card per pastel accent (lime, lavender, sky); each with a Material Symbol icon inside a pastel circle chip, a `.pill-badge` label, an H3, and 2–3 lines of real copy; hover lift per 2.2.
* **How It Works (3 steps):** numbered capsule chips (01/02/03) in coral, violet, and sky; connected by a dashed CSS line on desktop, stacked on mobile; H3 + description per step.
* **Testimonials (3):** capsule cards with a quote Material Symbol, quote copy, star rating (Material Symbols), and an author row: pastel circle with initials, name, and role.
* **Pricing (3 tiers):** Starter (lime), Pro (coral — highlighted with a "Most Popular" `.pill-badge`, elevated shadow, slight scale on desktop), Studio (sky); Bodoni Moda prices; feature lists with check Material Symbols; ghost CTAs on outer tiers, primary CTA on Pro.
* **FAQ:** 5–6 real questions in the playful/youthful voice; accordion behavior per 2.4.
* **Final CTA:** full-bleed violet block (`#A06CE8` light mode, brightened variant in dark mode) with `--text-on-fill` text, Bodoni Moda headline, and the email capture `.input-group` per 2.3 with a bone-white pill submit button.
* **Footer:** wordmark + one-line tagline, three secondary link columns (Product, Company, Support), a social row of Material Symbol links with hover/focus states, and a copyright line. Every link must show visible hover and focus feedback.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES
* **Responsive by default:** fluid typography via `clamp()`, breakpoints without horizontal overflow.
* **Smooth animations:** all state changes transition with `var(--transition-fast)`/`var(--transition-normal)` (200–250ms); wrap transforms and shimmer in `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` to disable them.
* **Accessibility (a11y):** AA contrast in both Light and Dark modes; never rely on color alone to communicate state; semantic HTML5 landmarks; a skip-to-content link; a single `h1` with logical heading order; full keyboard operability (accordion, toggle, form, nav); `aria-live` regions for dynamic form feedback.
* **Mandatory visual feedback:** every click, hover, and submission triggers a visible state change.
* **Destructive actions:** `.btn--danger` (if used) must remain visually distinct in both themes.

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT
* **File structure:** separate `index.html`, `style.css`, and `script.js`. Only a single `<script src="script.js" defer>` reference — no inline `<script>` blocks, no inline styles.
* **Naming convention:** BEM exclusively (`.hero__title`, `.card__badge`, `.btn--primary`, `.pill-badge`, `.input-group__error`). Never mix conventions.
* **Script scope:** `script.js` contains only the theme toggle (with `localStorage` + `prefers-color-scheme` fallback), FAQ accordion behavior, smooth-scroll navigation, and email form validation/feedback. No other behavioral JS.
* **Copy:** real English copy everywhere (playful, youthful tone); placeholders only where content was genuinely left unspecified.
* Deliver complete, runnable code on the first attempt.
