/* ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   CAREERS — Content Sections (Why Join Us → Final CTA)
   Isolated component (see careers-content.js). Everything on
   careers.html below the cinematic hero and around the existing
   application form. Reuses the site's shared tokens/components
   (.section, .section-head, .kicker, .reveal*, .btn, .panel, .stat)
   from styles.css — nothing about the palette changes.

   Motion contract: only transform / opacity / box-shadow(light) /
   border-color / background-color are transitioned. Width, height,
   margin, padding, top and left are never animated. "transition: all"
   is never used.
