  /* ============================================================
     LEADZILLA PRO — HERO v2
     Direction:
       - Dark midnight navy primary, cream secondary
       - One brand accent: signal orange, used like a highlighter
       - Editorial serif headlines + clean grotesk body
       - Cascading failure visual: broken site → angry client → cancelled schedule
       - Broadcast cues subtle, not costumed
  ============================================================ */
