## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
* All styling lives in `style.css`. **Forbidden:** the `style="..."` attribute anywhere in the HTML.
* Target everything via class/ID selectors. HTML stays semantic and styling-agnostic.
* Changing the theme must require editing only `style.css`, never the markup.

**1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens**
Adopt the Cyberpunk token set below in `:root`. Map the generic theme tokens onto it (`--primary: var(--color-primary)`, `--bg-primary: var(--color-bg)`, `--text-primary: var(--color-text)`, `--text-secondary: var(--color-text-muted)`, `--text-error: var(--color-accent)`, `--text-success: var(--color-yellow)`, `--border-default: var(--neon-border)`, `--border-error: 1px solid var(--color-accent)`, `--border-success: 1px solid var(--color-yellow)`).

```css
:root {
  --color-bg: #05010d;
  --color-surface: #0d0221;
  --color-surface-2: #160a2b;
  --color-text: #e8f9ff;
  --color-text-muted: #7a8fa6;
  --color-primary: #00fff5;
  --color-accent: #ff003c;
  --color-magenta: #ff00e6;
  --color-yellow: #faff00;
  --color-border: #00fff5;
  --radius-sm: 0px; --radius-md: 2px; --radius-lg: 4px; --radius-pill: 999px;
  --shadow-glow-cyan: 0 0 6px #00fff5, 0 0 18px rgba(0,255,245,0.6);
  --shadow-glow-magenta: 0 0 6px #ff00e6, 0 0 18px rgba(255,0,230,0.6);
  --font-sans: 'Rajdhani', 'Chakra Petch', system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-display: 'Orbitron', 'Rajdhani', sans-serif;
  --font-mono: 'Share Tech Mono', ui-monospace, monospace;
  --text-xs: 0.75rem; --text-sm: 0.875rem; --text-base: 1rem; --text-lg: 1.125rem;
  --text-xl: 1.375rem; --text-2xl: 1.75rem; --text-3xl: 2.25rem; --text-4xl: 3rem; --text-5xl: 4rem;
  --space-1: 4px; --space-2: 8px; --space-3: 12px; --space-4: 16px; --space-6: 24px;
  --space-8: 32px; --space-12: 48px; --space-16: 64px; --space-24: 96px;
  --ease-standard: steps(3, end);
  --ease-glitch: steps(2, jump-none);
  --scanline: repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0,255,245,0.05) 0 1px, transparent 1px 3px);
  --neon-border: 1px solid #00fff5;
  --transition-fast: 100ms var(--ease-standard);
  --transition-normal: 200ms var(--ease-standard);
  --z-dropdown: 100; --z-modal: 200; --z-toast: 300;
}
```

* **Contrast pairing:** every background token pairs with a readable text token in **both** light and dark themes. In light mode, do **not** use pure white — use `#fefefe`-adjacent surfaces with dark text; neon accents may remain but must pass contrast against the light surface.
* **Signature rule:** glow the borders, not the fills. Hard clipped corners via the `.clip` polygon. Scanline overlay on `body::after` (fixed, `pointer-events: none`, `z-index: 9999`).

**1.3 Mandatory Light & Dark Mode**
* Dark (Cyberpunk neon-noir) is the default theme. **A light mode must also be defined and validated before publishing** — the source spec did not declare modes, so both are required.
* Implement via `@media (prefers-color-scheme: light)` **and** a `.light` class override on `<html>`/`<body>`; all tokens swap through CSS variables only — no HTML restructuring.
* Provide a visible theme toggle button (Google Material Symbols icon: `dark_mode`/`light_mode`) with `aria-pressed` and `aria-label="Toggle light mode"`. Persist choice in `localStorage`; fall back to `prefers-color-scheme` on first visit.
* Light mode guidance: desaturated near-white surfaces (`#fefefe`, `#f2f4f8`), dark text (`#0d0221`), cyan/magenta accents darkened enough for contrast (e.g., `#007a75` / `#b300a0`), borders solid instead of glowing, scanline overlay reduced or removed.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First**
* Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` unless explicitly justified otherwise.
* Mobile-first: hero stacks vertically, feature/pricing/testimonial grids collapse to single column below 768px, nav collapses to a menu button. **No horizontal scrolling at any viewport width.**

**1.5 Framework**
* Use Tailwind CSS (CDN) or clean custom CSS with `@layer`/`@apply`; all utilities map back to the CSS variables and generic reusable classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input`, `.badge`, `.nav`, `.clip`).

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
* Google Fonts: **Orbitron** (display/headings), **Rajdhani** (body), **Share Tech Mono** (labels, code, HUD text). Include via `<link>` tags.
* Icons: **Google Material Symbols** only. **Forbidden:** raw inline SVGs or local icon files.

## 2. COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS

**2.1 Buttons (`.btn`, `.btn--danger`, `.btn--primary`)**
* Default: `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` min touch target 44×44px; uppercase Orbitron display font, letter-spacing `.08em`, transparent bg, 1px cyan border, `--shadow-glow-cyan`.
* Hover: fill with `--color-primary`, text flips to `--color-bg`, `cursor: pointer`.
* Focus-visible: 2px magenta outline, 2px offset.
* Active: `transform: scale(0.97)`.
* Loading: disabled interaction, CSS spinner (rotating Material Symbol `sync`), no dimension shift.
* Disabled: `opacity: 0.5`, greyscale filter, `cursor: not-allowed`.
* `.btn--danger`: red accent border + magenta/red glow, visually distinct in both themes.
* `.btn--primary` (Final CTA): filled cyan with glow.

**2.2 Cards (`.card` + `.clip`)**
* Default: `--color-surface` bg, `--neon-border`, `--shadow-glow-cyan`, `--space-6` padding, clipped corners.
* Hover: `transform: translateY(-2px)` + intensified glow.
* `:focus-within`: border shifts to magenta.
* Skeleton shimmer class for async content; empty-state layout with a Material Symbol icon + guidance text.
* Feature cards: icon + title + description. Pricing tiers: badge ("MOST WANTED" on the middle tier), price in mono font, feature list, CTA button.

**2.3 Forms & Inputs (`.input`)**
* Newsletter signup in the Final CTA section: flex container with label, mono-font input, and a dedicated error feedback element.
* States: empty, focused (cyan glow ring), filled, valid (yellow border + `check` icon), invalid (red border + `error` icon + message), disabled, read-only.
* Errors announced via `aria-live="polite"`.

**2.4 FAQ Accordion**
* Native `<details>/<summary>` or ARIA-compliant custom accordion; open/close animated with `--transition-normal`; chevron Material Symbol rotates; keyboard operable.

**2.5 Modals / Toasts (if any interactive confirmation is needed)**
* Centered flex overlay, backdrop blur, animated open/close, Google Icon close button, focus trap, `Esc`/overlay-click to close, `z-index: var(--z-modal)`.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

* **Responsive by default:** fluid type via `clamp()`, no horizontal overflow.
* **Glitch/HUD effects:** subtle glitch text-shadow on hero headline, HUD corner brackets on cards, scanlines on hero, holographic gradient on section dividers — all CSS-only, all disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` (also remove `body::after` scanline overlay and button transitions).
* **Accessibility:** WCAG AA contrast in **both** light and dark modes; never rely on color alone (pair icons/text with state colors); semantic HTML5 (`<header>`, `<main>`, `<section>`, `<nav>`, `<footer>`); logical focus order; full keyboard operability.
* **Mandatory visual feedback** on every click/hover/submission.
* **Copy:** all user-facing copy in **English**, cyberpunk tone ("Jack in", "Sync your deck", "Choose your implant tier"), real descriptive text — no lorem ipsum.

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

* **Files:** `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js` — separate, no inline `<script>` beyond a single deferred entry-point reference, no inline CSS.
* **Naming:** one consistent convention (BEM: `.card`, `.card__title`, `.card--featured`) across the entire deliverable.
* **Script.js scope:** theme toggle + persistence, FAQ accordion behavior, form validation feedback, smooth-scroll nav only. No unrequested behavioral JS.
* **Footer:** secondary link columns (Product, Company, Legal), social icon links (Material Symbols), copyright line in mono font.
* **Testimonials:** 3 quotes with mono-font attribution, avatar placeholder initials in a clipped hexagon, no external images required.
* Validate both themes before declaring completion.
