   LIGHT THEME REVERSAL — client feedback 2026-09-08
   "It looks too black/dark — make the major portion white and the rest light
   grey." Flips the previously dark bands (topbar, hero, ticker, stats band,
   CTA, inner page-hero, footer) to white / light-grey with dark text.
   Grouped here so it can be reverted in one block if the client changes course.
