   INVERTED YELLOW SECTIONS — Final-CTA / Awards strip.
   (STATS2 was removed from this group — it now renders as a light band with
   white bento cards; see .vh-bigstat above.)
   These sections flip from the dark navy treatment to a LIME-YELLOW
   background with the palette inverted: was-navy bg → yellow, was-white text
   → navy, was-lime accents → navy, and the lime highlight boxes (.vh-mark)
   become NAVY boxes with LIME text. Everything is driven by re-mapping the
   colour tokens scoped to each section root, so the existing rules cascade
   into the inverted scheme with no per-element rewrites.
   Exception: the dark "Book a free consultation" card stays dark (see below).
   To revert these sections to the dark theme, delete everything below this
   banner (and the matching block at the end of home-geo.css).
