### **1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE**

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
* All styling lives exclusively in `style.css`. The `style="..."` attribute is **forbidden** anywhere in the HTML.
* All design properties, layout rules, and states are targeted via class or ID selectors only.
* HTML must remain clean, semantic, and style-agnostic — retheming the page must require editing CSS only, never the markup.

**1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens**
Store every visual token in `:root` and theme classes:

* **Core colors:** `--primary` (Cyan `#00FFFF`), `--secondary` (Magenta `#FF00FF`), `--bg-primary`, `--bg-secondary`, `--bg-elevated`, `--text-primary`, `--text-secondary`, `--text-success`, `--text-error`, `--border-default`, `--border-error`, `--border-success`.
* **Extended MR accent tokens:** `--accent-green` (`#00FF00`), `--accent-yellow` (`#FFFF00`), `--accent-hot-pink` (`#FF0080`), `--accent-sky` (`#00CCFF`), plus glow tokens `--glow-cyan`, `--glow-magenta`, `--glow-pink` (layered rgba box-shadows).
* **Dark mode (default aesthetic):** `--bg-primary: #1F1F2E` (Dark Indigo), `--bg-secondary`/`--bg-elevated` in a slightly lifted indigo (e.g., `#262638`/`#2A2A40`), `--text-primary: #FFFFFF`, `--text-secondary` in a muted lavender-indigo.
* **Light mode:** background must NOT be pure white — use a pale indigo tint (e.g., `#F1F1F9`) with `#fefefe` for elevated surfaces. Define **darkened accent variants** that keep the same hue families but pass WCAG AA on light backgrounds (e.g., cyan → `#0088B8`, magenta → `#C400C4`, hot pink → `#D4006E`).
* **Contrast pairing (mandatory in both themes):** light backgrounds pair with dark text tokens, dark backgrounds pair with light text tokens. Raw neon values (`#00FFFF`, `#FF00FF`, `#00FF00`, `#FFFF00`) are reserved for large display text (≥ 24px / 18.66px bold), decorative glows, borders, and icons — **never** small body text.
* **Radius & shadows:** `--radius-sm`, `--radius-md`, `--radius-lg`, `--shadow-sm`, `--shadow-md`.
* **Spacing & transitions:** `--spacing-gap`, `--transition-fast` (~150ms), `--transition-normal` (~300ms), `--ease-standard`.
* **Elevation:** `--z-dropdown` (mobile nav), `--z-modal`, `--z-toast` — no ad-hoc z-index values.

**1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support**
* Define dark tokens under both a `.dark` class **and** `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` as a no-JS fallback.
* First visit respects `prefers-color-scheme`; the user's explicit choice persists in `localStorage` (e.g., key `mr-theme`).
* A **visible theme toggle** must exist in the header: a Material Symbols icon button (44×44px) with correct `aria-pressed` and dynamic `aria-label` ("Switch to light theme" / "Switch to dark theme").
* Theme switching must swap tokens only — no HTML restructuring.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment**
* Build every layout container with `display: flex`, defaulting to `align-items: center`. Any exception (e.g., top-aligned card bodies) must be deliberate and commented.
* All rows convert to columns below ~768px. **No horizontal scrolling at any viewport** — clip decorative glows and 3D transforms (`overflow-x: clip` on `body`) so neon shadows and perspective edges never cause overflow.

**1.5 Framework Default**
* Use **clean custom CSS** (no framework) — the bespoke holographic/3D effects demand it. Organize `style.css` with clear comment section headers; every component class must consume the tokens above.

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
* Load **Space Grotesk** (display/headings) and **Inter** (body) via Google Fonts `<link>` with `preconnect`; bind to `--font-display` and `--font-base`. Optionally, **Orbitron** may be used strictly for the logo wordmark and eyebrow labels.
* Icons: **Google Material Symbols (Rounded)** via `<link>`. **Forbidden:** raw inline SVGs, local icon files, emoji used as icons.

### **2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS**

**2.1 Button Component (`.btn`, `.btn--primary`, `.btn--secondary`, `.btn--ghost`)**
* **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum 44×44px touch target. Primary = cyan fill with neon glow; secondary = magenta/indigo outline.
* **Hover:** brightness/shadow shift with intensified neon glow, `cursor: pointer`.
* **Focus-visible:** distinct ring built from CSS variables (outline + glow), visible in both themes.
* **Active:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
* **Loading (`.is-loading`):** disables interaction, prevents double-clicks, renders a CSS border spinner or animated Material Symbol **without changing button dimensions** (reserve spinner space).
* **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, greyscale, `cursor: not-allowed`.
* **Success/Error (`.is-success` / `.is-error`):** temporary feedback styles driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error`.
* If any destructive action exists, `.btn--danger` must be visually distinct in **both** themes.

**2.2 Card Component (`.card` + variants `--feature`, `--testimonial`, `--pricing`, `--featured`)**
* **Default:** flexible flex layout, `--bg-secondary`, 1px `--border-default`, `--radius-lg`, `--shadow-sm`. Card bodies may be top-aligned (documented exception).
* **Hover:** `translateY(-2px)` plus a subtle 3D tilt (`rotateX`/`rotateY` ≤ 6deg, parent has `perspective`) and neon glow.
* **Focus-within:** border shifts to `--primary` with glow when a child control receives focus.
* **Skeleton:** define `.skeleton` shimmer animation classes in CSS to prevent layout jumps.
* **Empty state:** define a `.card--empty` pattern (Material Symbol + guidance text).

**2.3 Form & Input Requirements (Final CTA email capture)**
* Structure: `.input-group` flex container wrapping a `<label>`, the input, and a dedicated error container `.input-group__error`.
* **States:** empty, `:focus` (cyan outline ring), filled, `.is-valid` (success border + check icon), `.is-invalid` (error border, `--text-error` message, error icon), disabled, read-only.
* Errors are tied via `aria-describedby` and announced through an `aria-live="polite"` status region. Submit demonstrates **loading → success/error** button states.

**2.4 FAQ Accordion & Overlay Rules**
* FAQ uses semantic `<details class="faq__item">` / `<summary class="faq__question">` with a Material Symbols chevron that rotates on `[open]`; summary has a visible `:focus-visible` ring; natively keyboard operable.
* If any modal/overlay is added (e.g., a demo player): centered flex container (`align-items: center`), backdrop, Material Symbol close button, focus trapping, `Esc` + overlay-click closing, and CSS-animated opening/open/closing states.

### **3. THEME-SPECIFIC VISUAL SYSTEM (Mixed Reality / VR-AR)**

**3.1 Spatial Grid Backgrounds**
* Dark mode base: `#1F1F2E` with a CSS spatial grid overlay (repeating `linear-gradient` lines, 1px, low-opacity cyan, ~48px spacing, both axes). Optionally add a perspective floor grid in the hero (`rotateX(60deg)` pseudo-element, masked fade).
* Grid opacity ≤ 0.15 so text contrast is preserved; light mode uses indigo-tinted grid lines.

**3.2 Holographic Effects**
* Define reusable holographic primitives: `.holo-text` (animated cyan→magenta→sky gradient via `background-clip: text` with a shimmer keyframe), `.holo-border` (gradient border via pseudo-element), `.holo-panel` (hero HUD panel with shimmer sweep + optional low-opacity scanlines via `repeating-linear-gradient`).

**3.3 3D Perspective & Depth**
* Hero stage: `perspective: 1000px`; the HUD panel and floating data chips use `rotateX`/`rotateY`/`translateZ` for dimensional layering. Keep the actual headline readable — subtle tilt only, flattened on mobile and under reduced motion.
* Card tilt on hover: JS writes `--tilt-x`/`--tilt-y` custom properties consumed by CSS `transform`; disabled for touch inputs and `prefers-reduced-motion`.
* **Dimensional overlay transitions:** scroll reveals via `IntersectionObserver` adding `.is-visible` (opacity + `translateY`, optional slight `rotateX`). Reveals may only hide content when JS has flagged `<html>` with a `.js-enabled` class — no-JS users see everything immediately.

**3.4 Neon Glow System**
* Glows are layered box-shadows (tight + wide) from the `--glow-*` tokens, applied to primary buttons, featured pricing, icon tiles, and focus rings. Light mode softens glows so they don't wash out.

**3.5 WebGL (Optional Enhancement Only)**
* CSS 3D transforms are **mandatory** and must fully deliver the aesthetic. A WebGL/canvas particle field is optional progressive enhancement inside `script.js`: it must not block first paint, must pause under `prefers-reduced-motion` and on hidden tabs, and must degrade silently. Not required for acceptance.

### **4. PAGE SECTIONS & CONTENT REQUIREMENTS**

All copy in **English**, real and persuasive — no lorem ipsum. Invent one consistent mixed-reality product (e.g., a spatial collaboration/visualization platform) and keep its name coherent across all sections. All visuals (HUD panels, grids, glows) are CSS-constructed — no image assets required.

**4.1 Header (sticky):** logo (Material Symbol `view_in_ar` + wordmark), anchor nav links (Features, How It Works, Testimonials, Pricing, FAQ) with smooth scroll, theme toggle, primary CTA. Mobile: accessible hamburger (`aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`) toggling a flex-column menu at `--z-dropdown`, closing on link click and `Esc`.

**4.2 Hero:** eyebrow badge ("2025+ Spatial Computing" style, holographic border), perspective headline with `.holo-text`, subheadline, dual CTAs (primary → `#pricing`; secondary → `#how-it-works`), a pure-CSS holographic HUD graphic (spatial grid, floating neon data chips), and an optional 3-metric stats row. Centered flex column, near-full viewport height.

**4.3 Features — exactly 3 `.card--feature`:** neon-glow icon tile (e.g., `3d_rotation`, `layers`, `sensors`), title, 2–3 line description. 3-column grid → 1 column on mobile. Hover tilt + glow, focus-within.

**4.4 How It Works — 3 steps:** numbered 01/02/03 with rotating neon accents (cyan / magenta / sky), title + description, connected by an animated gradient "beam" on desktop (vertical/hidden on mobile).

**4.5 Testimonials — 3 `.card--testimonial`:** quote, 5-star rating (Material Symbol `star`, filled via `font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 1`), avatar as initials circle or `person` icon, name + role.

**4.6 Pricing — 3 tiers:** e.g., Explorer (Free), Creator (featured: "Most Popular" badge, gradient border, glow, desktop `scale(1.03)`), Studio. Each tier: name, price + period, feature list with `check` icons, CTA (featured → `.btn--primary`; others → `.btn--secondary`). Featured tier must be distinct in **both** themes.

**4.7 FAQ — 4–6 `<details>` items** with genuine MR-themed Q&A (hardware requirements, spatial-data privacy, collaboration, billing, support).

**4.8 Final CTA:** full-width section with subtle holographic gradient background, headline, supporting line, and the email capture form per §2.3 — simulated submit in JS (timeout) driving loading → success ("You're on the list" + check icon) or error, announced via `aria-live`.

**4.9 Footer:** secondary link columns (Product, Company, Resources, Legal — real labels; `href="#"` acceptable only because targets are unspecified), social icon buttons with `aria-label`s, dynamic copyright year, small logo, subtle gradient top border.

### **5. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES**

* **Responsive by default:** fluid sizing, breakpoints ~1024/768/480px, zero horizontal overflow — explicitly verify that 3D transforms and glow shadows never overflow.
* **Smooth animations:** `transition: var(--transition-normal)` on all state changes. Under `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)`: disable shimmer, floats, tilts, beams, and reveals; flatten transforms; keep states perceivable. JS must also check `matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)')` before applying tilt/parallax.
* **Accessibility:** WCAG AA contrast in both themes (hence the darkened light-mode accents). Never communicate state by color alone — pair with icons/text. Semantic HTML5 (`header`/`nav`/`main`/`section`/`footer`), a single `h1` with logical heading order, a skip-to-content link, correct ARIA on all custom widgets, logical focus order, and full keyboard operability.
* **Mandatory visual feedback:** every click, hover, focus, and submission produces a visible state change.

---

### **6. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT**

* **Files:** separate `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`. A single deferred `<script src="script.js" defer>` reference — no inline scripts, no inline styles, no `style` attributes.
* **Naming:** one consistent **BEM** convention everywhere (`.hero__title`, `.card--feature`, `.btn--primary`, `.faq__item`, `.is-*` state classes) — never mix conventions.
* **Assets:** Google Fonts and Material Symbols via `<link>` only; no inline SVGs, no local icon files.
* **Copy:** real English copy throughout; placeholders only where content was genuinely unspecified (footer link targets).
* **Completeness:** deliver all sections, all component states, both themes, and all interactions on the first attempt — no TODOs, no truncated CSS, no omitted states.
