**Role:** You are a Senior Frontend Engineer and Expert UI Designer. Build a complete, production-quality landing page on the first attempt. Every rule below is mandatory. Where your habits conflict with a rule, the rule wins.

**Objective:** Deliver a luxury landing page themed **"Royal Velvet Purple"** (source name: *"Roxo Veludo Real"*) with full light/dark support, as three files: `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`.

---

## 0. THEME SPECIFICATION

**0.1 Identity**
- **Name:** Royal Velvet Purple (translated from "Roxo Veludo Real")
- **Type:** Luxury & Sophistication · **Era:** Timeless Opulence · **Modes:** Full light + dark
- **Keywords:** royal, velvet, luxury, rich, deep, sophisticated, elegant, berry, mysterious, opulent, premium

**0.2 Palette (source of truth — no other hues; tints/shades via `color-mix` allowed)**
- Primary hues: Royal Velvet Purple `#4B0082` · Deep Berry `#2C003E` · Midnight Blue `#0A0A2A`
- Secondary hues: Plum `#8E44AD` · Antique Gold `#D4AF37` · Charcoal Grey `#36454F` · Silver Mist `#C0C0C0`

**0.3 Visual direction (translated)**
Create a luxurious, sophisticated UI with a royal feel: royal velvet purple as primary, deep berry and midnight blue for depth, soft plush textures, subtle metallic gold/silver accents, elegant serif headlines, refined sans-serif body, deep dramatic shadows, and smooth flowing transitions conveying opulence and mystery.

**0.4 Visual effects — implement in pure CSS, no image files**
- **Plush velvet texture:** layered low-opacity gradients (soft radial highlights, faint repeating linear gradients) over section backgrounds.
- **Metallic sheen:** gold radial glows, gold gradient borders/badges on featured elements.
- **Depth:** alternating section backgrounds, elevation hierarchy via shadow tokens, deep dramatic shadows.

**0.5 Typography & icons**
- Headlines: **Playfair Display** (Google Fonts) → `--font-display`. Body: **Lato** (Google Fonts) → `--font-base`.
- Icons: **Google Material Symbols (Rounded)** only. No inline SVGs, no local icon files, no emoji-as-icons.

**0.6 Copy**
- ALL user-facing copy in **English**, premium and refined in tone. No lorem ipsum, no TODOs — write realistic, on-theme copy. Suggested brand: **"Velvet Royale"**, a premium lifestyle membership. Invent plausible testimonial names and prices.

## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
- The `style="..."` attribute is **forbidden** anywhere in the HTML.
- All design properties, layout rules, and states are targeted via class/ID selectors in `style.css` only.
- HTML stays semantic and styling-agnostic: re-theming must require editing CSS only, never markup.

**1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens**
Store every visual token in `:root` (light default) with overrides in `.dark` and in `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root:not(.light) }`. Use exactly these tokens:

| Token | Light | Dark |
|---|---|---|
| `--primary` | `#4B0082` | `#8E44AD` |
| `--primary-hover` | `#3A0068` | `#A05CC2` |
| `--on-primary` | `#FEFEFE` | `#FEFEFE` |
| `--secondary` | `#8E44AD` | `#B07CC6` |
| `--accent-gold` | `#D4AF37` | `#D4AF37` |
| `--accent-text` | `#8E44AD` | `#D4AF37` |
| `--bg-primary` | `#F5F0F9` | `#0A0A2A` |
| `--bg-secondary` | `#FEFEFE` | `#2C003E` |
| `--bg-alt` | `#EDE5F6` | `#120E38` |
| `--bg-inverse` | `#2C003E` | `#060616` |
| `--text-primary` | `#2C003E` | `#F2EAF9` |
| `--text-secondary` | `#36454F` | `#C0C0C0` |
| `--text-on-inverse` | `#F2EAF9` | `#F2EAF9` |
| `--text-success` | `#1E7A46` | `#7FD8A2` |
| `--text-error` | `#B3261E` | `#FF8A80` |
| `--border-default` | `#DCCFEA` | `#3D2B5C` |
| `--border-error` | `#B3261E` | `#FF8A80` |
| `--border-success` | `#1E7A46` | `#7FD8A2` |
| `--focus-ring` | `#4B0082` | `#D4AF37` |
| `--shadow-sm` | `0 4px 14px rgba(44,0,62,0.12)` | `0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,0.35)` |
| `--shadow-md` | `0 10px 30px rgba(44,0,62,0.18)` | `0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.4)` |
| `--shadow-lg` | `0 18px 45px rgba(44,0,62,0.26)` | `0 18px 50px rgba(0,0,0,0.55)` |
| `--gradient-hero` | `linear-gradient(135deg,#F5F0F9 0%,#E6D8F2 45%,#CDB6E4 100%)` | `linear-gradient(135deg,#0A0A2A 0%,#2C003E 55%,#4B0082 120%)` |

Shared tokens: `--font-display: 'Playfair Display', Georgia, serif`; `--font-base: 'Lato', 'Segoe UI', sans-serif`; `--radius-sm: 8px`; `--radius-md: 12px`; `--radius-lg: 24px`; `--radius-full: 999px`; `--spacing-gap: 1.5rem`; `--ease-standard: ease-in-out`; `--transition-fast: 0.2s var(--ease-standard)`; `--transition-normal: 0.5s var(--ease-standard)`; `--z-header: 100`; `--z-dropdown: 1000`; `--z-modal: 2000`; `--z-toast: 3000`; `--gradient-gold: linear-gradient(120deg,#D4AF37 0%,#E9CE7A 50%,#D4AF37 100%)`.

- **Contrast pairing law:** every light background token pairs with a dark text token and vice versa — enforced in both themes (e.g., `--bg-inverse` always pairs with `--text-on-inverse`).
- **Light mode is never pure white:** page background is `#F5F0F9`; use `#FEFEFE` (never `#ffffff`) where a near-white surface is needed.
- **Gold usage law:** `#D4AF37` text/icons only on dark surfaces. On light surfaces, gold is restricted to borders, decorative accents, and badges with Deep Berry `#2C003E` text on gold. Silver Mist is dark-mode secondary text or light-mode decorative borders only.
- **Dark-mode primary note:** `--primary` in dark mode is for buttons, surfaces, and large display text; body-size accent text uses `--secondary` or `--accent-text`.
- The source spec's `transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out` is honored through `--transition-normal`, but transitions must target enumerated properties (`color, background-color, border-color, box-shadow, transform, opacity`) — never `all`.

**1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support**
- Dark tokens must exist under **both** the `.dark` class and `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root:not(.light) }`, so system preference works without JS and explicit choice overrides it.
- A **visible theme toggle** in the header: Material Symbols `light_mode`/`dark_mode` icon swap, `aria-pressed`, `aria-label="Toggle dark mode"`, visible focus ring.
- **Persistence:** store choice in `localStorage` (key `theme`: `"light"` or `"dark"` → apply `.light`/`.dark` on `<html>`); with no stored value, fall back to `prefers-color-scheme`. The only permitted `<script>` is the single deferred `script.js` reference — no inline pre-paint snippet; the media query handles first paint for system-preference users.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment**
- Build all layout structure with Flexbox (Tailwind flex utilities or CSS `display: flex`).
- **Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center`** unless covered by an explicitly justified exception. Permitted exceptions, and only these: card grids (`align-items: stretch` for equal heights), pricing/testimonial card inner content and FAQ summaries (readability alignment), footer columns (top-aligned).
- Mobile-first: multi-row layouts collapse to columns at small viewports; no horizontal scrolling at any width down to 320px (`min-width: 0` on flex children, `max-width: 100%`).
- Global container: `max-width: 72rem`, centered, inline padding `clamp(1rem, 5vw, 2rem)`; section vertical rhythm `padding-block: clamp(4rem, 10vw, 7rem)`.

**1.5 Framework Default & Tailwind CSS Integration**
- Use Tailwind CSS (Play CDN or build) for layout, spacing, and alignment utilities only.
- **All colors, fonts, radii, shadows, and states come from `style.css` via the tokens above and semantic component classes** (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`, `.nav-link`, `.section-header`, `.badge`). Never hardcode hex values in class attributes or Tailwind arbitrary values (no `text-[#4B0082]`).

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
- `<head>`: `preconnect` to Google Fonts, then stylesheets for **Playfair Display** (400–800, italic) and **Lato** (300, 400, 700), plus **Material Symbols Rounded** (with `FILL` axis available; filled variation for `star`).
- Icons render as `<span class="material-symbols-rounded" aria-hidden="true">icon_name</span>`. Suggested set: `diamond`, `auto_awesome`, `workspace_premium`, `support_agent`, `how_to_reg`, `tune`, `star`, `check_circle`, `format_quote`, `arrow_forward`, `expand_more`, `dark_mode`, `light_mode`, `menu`, `close`, `mail`, `verified`, `progress`, `help`.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

**2.1 Button Component**
- Base `.btn`: `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem`; minimum touch target 44×44px; `border-radius: var(--radius-md)`; `font-family: var(--font-base)`; transitions via `--transition-fast`.
- Variants (BEM): `.btn--primary` (bg `--primary`, color `--on-primary`), `.btn--outline` (transparent, 1.5px `--secondary` border, `--secondary` text; hover fills with a translucent tint), `.btn--gold` (bg `--accent-gold`, color `#2C003E` — used for the featured pricing CTA), `.btn--danger` (defined with error tokens for reuse, visually distinct in both themes, even though unused on this page).
- **Hover:** brightness shift + `--shadow-sm`, `cursor: pointer`. **Focus:** `:focus-visible` ring via `--focus-ring` (2px outline, 3px offset). **Active:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
- **Loading:** `.btn--loading` — `aria-busy="true"`, disabled to block double-clicks, rotating Material `progress` icon (or CSS ring) that does not change button dimensions.
- **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, partial greyscale, `cursor: not-allowed`.
- **Success/Error:** `.btn--success` / `.btn--error` feedback states driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error` tokens (used by the Final CTA form).

**2.2 Card Component**
- **Default:** flex column, `--bg-secondary` surface, 1px `--border-default`, `border-radius: var(--radius-md)`, `--shadow-sm`, generous padding (≥ 2rem).
- **Hover:** `transform: translateY(-2px)`, shadow deepens to `--shadow-md`, border shifts to a gold-tinted mix (`color-mix(in srgb, var(--accent-gold) 45%, var(--border-default))`).
- **Focus-within:** border highlights to `--secondary` with a soft ring when a child link/button is focused.
- **Skeleton:** define a `.skeleton` shimmer keyframe utility for future dynamic content. No empty states — all content is static; do not invent them.

**2.3 Form & Input Requirements** (email capture in the Final CTA)
- `.input-group`: flex column wrapping a `<label>`, the input, and a dedicated error-feedback container.
- **States:** empty; focused (ring via `--focus-ring`); filled; valid (`.is-valid`: `--border-success` + `check_circle` icon); invalid (`.is-invalid`: `--border-error`, error icon, error message in `--text-error`); disabled; read-only — all styled.
- Validation: `type="email"` + `required`, enhanced in JS; errors announced via an `aria-live="polite"` region; input references the message via `aria-describedby`; never color-only (icon + text always).

**2.4 FAQ Accordion**
- Native `<details>` / `<summary>`; summary is a flex row (`space-between`, centered) with the question in Playfair Display and an `expand_more` chevron that rotates 180° on `[open]` (`--transition-fast`).
- `:focus-visible` ring on summary; content in Lato, `--text-secondary`. Multiple open items allowed.

**2.5 Overlays (conditional)**
- No modals or toasts are part of this build — do not add any. If an overlay ever becomes strictly necessary: centered flex container, backdrop, Material icon close button, keyboard focus trap, close on `Esc` and overlay click, animated open/close via CSS transitions.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

- **Responsive by default:** fluid `clamp()` typography (H1 ≈ `clamp(2.5rem, 6vw, 4.5rem)`), wrap-based grids, zero horizontal overflow.
- **Smooth animations:** every state change transitions via tokens — `--transition-normal` for ambient/large shifts, `--transition-fast` for micro-interactions. Honor `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` by disabling transforms, floats, and spinners (instant color changes remain).
- **Accessibility:** contrast ≥ 4.5:1 for body text and ≥ 3:1 for large text and meaningful non-text UI in **both** modes (in light mode, darken gold icons such as stars via `color-mix(in srgb, #D4AF37 70%, #2C003E)` to meet 3:1). Never rely on color alone. Semantic HTML5 landmarks (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section` with `aria-labelledby`, `footer`), a skip link as first focusable element, logical DOM/focus order, full keyboard operability, `aria-live` for dynamic feedback, decorative icons `aria-hidden`.
- **Mandatory visual feedback:** every clickable/hoverable/submittable element produces a visible state change.
- **Destructive actions:** none in this build; `.btn--danger` must remain visually distinct in both themes if ever used.

---

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

- **Files:** separate `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`. No inline `<script>` blocks beyond a single deferred entry-point reference (`<script src="script.js" defer>`). No inline styles. No inline SVGs.
- **Naming convention:** BEM for every custom class (`.btn--primary`, `.card--featured`, `.faq-item__question`); Tailwind utilities permitted for layout/spacing only; never mix conventions.
- **Head:** charset, viewport, title, meta description, Google Fonts links (Playfair Display, Lato, Material Symbols Rounded).
- **Copy:** original English copy per 0.6 — no lorem-ipsum-only submissions; placeholders only where content is genuinely unspecified (none is, here).
- Complete and functional on the first attempt: no TODOs, no placeholder comments, no console errors.

## 5. PAGE STRUCTURE & SECTION SPECIFICATIONS

Order: sticky Header → `main` (Hero, Features, How It Works, Testimonials, Pricing, FAQ, Final CTA) → Footer. The header is required infrastructure for the theme toggle and anchor navigation; add nothing beyond the requested sections.

**5.1 Header (sticky)**
- `position: sticky`, `z-index: var(--z-header)`, translucent background with backdrop blur, subtle bottom border.
- Flex row: brand wordmark ("Velvet Royale", Playfair, small `diamond` icon) · nav links (Features, How It Works, Testimonials, Pricing, FAQ — `.nav-link` with gold underline-grow hover) · theme toggle · compact `.btn--primary` "Get Started".
- Mobile: links hidden; `menu`/`close` hamburger button toggles a dropdown panel (`--z-dropdown`, `--bg-secondary`, `--shadow-md`) with `aria-expanded` + `aria-controls`; closes on link click and `Esc`.
- `scroll-margin-top` on sections; `scroll-behavior: smooth` with reduced-motion guard.

**5.2 Hero**
- `min-height: 90vh`, flex column centered, text-center; background: `--gradient-hero` + layered velvet texture + radial gold sheen (pseudo-elements/overlays).
- Eyebrow pill badge (gold border, `workspace_premium` icon, letter-spaced small caps) → H1 in Playfair with one italic accent word in `--accent-text` (e.g., "Indulge in the *Extraordinary*") → Lato subhead in `--text-secondary`, `max-width: 60ch`.
- CTA row (flex, wrap, centered, gap): `.btn--primary` "Begin Your Journey" (`arrow_forward`) + `.btn--outline` "Explore the Collection" (anchor to Features).
- Scroll cue: `expand_more` icon with gentle float animation (disabled under reduced motion), `aria-label`, anchors to Features.

**5.3 Features — 3 cards**
- Reusable `.section-header` pattern: eyebrow label, H2 Playfair, lede paragraph — flex column, centered.
- Grid: flex wrap, `gap: var(--spacing-gap)`, cards `flex: 1 1 300px`, `align-items: stretch` (documented exception).
- Card: circular icon badge (plum gradient, gold icon) → H3 Playfair → Lato body → "Discover more" text link with `arrow_forward`. Suggested content: Curated Elegance (`diamond`), White-Glove Concierge (`support_agent`), Exclusive Access (`workspace_premium`). Hover/focus-within per 2.2.

**5.4 How It Works — 3 steps**
- Flex row on desktop, column on mobile; decorative gold hairline connecting steps on desktop only.
- Each step: oversized Playfair number ("01/02/03") in `--accent-text`, Material icon, H3, description. Suggested: Join the Circle (`how_to_reg`), Personalize Your Experience (`tune`), Indulge Effortlessly (`auto_awesome`).
- Alternate section background (`--bg-alt`) for depth.

**5.5 Testimonials**
- 3 cards, flex wrap: decorative `format_quote` icon, five `star` icons (gold, per the light-mode contrast rule), quote in Playfair italic, author name (Lato 700), role (`--text-secondary`), initials avatar (circle, plum gradient, gold ring, light initials).

**5.6 Pricing — 3 tiers**
- Tiers: Essential $19/mo · **Signature $49/mo (featured)** · Imperial $99/mo.
- Card: tier name (Playfair), large Playfair price + "/month", short description, feature list with `check_circle` icons in `--accent-text`, full-width CTA (`.btn--gold` for featured, `.btn--outline` otherwise).
- Featured card: 2px `--accent-gold` border, `--shadow-lg`, subtle desktop elevation (`translateY(-4px)` or `scale(1.02)`), and a "Most Popular" pill badge (gold background, Deep Berry text, `star` icon) overlapping the top border.
- Footnote with `verified` icon (billing/cancellation reassurance).

**5.7 FAQ**
- Centered `max-width: 800px`; 5–6 `<details>` items per 2.4 (suggested topics: what's included, billing, cancellation, gifting, support).

**5.8 Final CTA**
- Full-bleed band on `--bg-inverse` (or primary→Deep Berry gradient) with gold sheen overlay; flex column centered; H2 Playfair + subcopy in `--text-on-inverse`.
- Email capture per 2.3: input + `.btn--primary` submit side-by-side on desktop (column on mobile). On submit: prevent default → validate → button loading state (`aria-busy`, spinner) → simulated ~1.2s delay → success state (check icon, confirmation message announced in an `aria-live="polite"` region). No page reload.

**5.9 Footer**
- `--bg-inverse` background with `--text-on-inverse` (contrast pairing law). Flex wrap: brand column (wordmark, tagline, social icon buttons — 44px circles, Material icons, `aria-label`s, gold hover) + 2–3 secondary link columns (Product, Company, Support — e.g., Features, Pricing, FAQ / About, Careers, Contact / Help Center, Privacy, Terms).
- Bottom bar: copyright (dynamic year via JS) + legal links; link hover → gold with animated underline.

**5.10 `script.js` scope — only this**
- Theme init/toggle/persistence per 1.3 (sync icon + `aria-pressed`).
- Mobile menu open/close (`Esc`, link click, `aria-expanded`).
- Final CTA form simulation per 5.8.
- Footer year.
- Optional: IntersectionObserver reveal enhancement — elements visible by default; enhancement class only; reduced-motion respected.
- No libraries, no other behavior, no console errors.
