   left shoulder track the plain container doesn't have, so the copy started
   ~300px right of the logo instead of matching the header edge. Design-guide
   point 12 ("hero = header width on every page") wins: hero canvas is just

   rows, and the footer ledger — now speaks ONE grammar through ONE BEM
   component, so a struck original always becomes a cited substitute the
   same way everywhere:

       [ original ingredient ]  →  [ cited substitute ]
        struck-through, blush        gold pill
              pill (__from)     bridge     (__to)
              ── citation / ratio line under it (__cite) ──

   Variants by modifier (never a separate component):
     .mend-strip                 base inline strip (content heroes, footer)
     .mend-strip--card           framed card (homepage hero repair moment)
     .mend-strip--row            tool result row (per swapped ingredient)
   The old .swap-card / .swap-mini variants are removed — this replaces them.

   Computed contrast (pills carry their OWN light backgrounds, so they pass
   on any ground incl. the ink footer): __from text #7a4f48/urgent-bg 5.85:1,
   __to text gold/gold-pale 7.51:1, __cite ink-soft/card 7.45:1 — all ≥4.5:1.
   (owner fix 2026-07-22: struck pill was bold + 2px strike = illegible;
   __from now regular weight, muted brownish ink, thinner 1.5px strike line —
   the pill keeps presence via shape/color, not font weight.) */
