/* ============================================================
   CLEANTAKE — remove background noise from recordings (NC-08)
   Archetype: how-to library. Tutorial-first, beginner-patient.
   Look: cool white + deep teal, serif display headings, rounded
   flat panels, numbered step rails. Deliberately unlike every
   other portfolio site (footprint rules): no dark analyzer
   (NC-01), no warm paper/offset shadows (NC-02), no indigo
   editorial (NC-07), no copper ledger (NC-10).
