   leroyhite.com — November 2026 upgrades (the "v2" layer). Loads after site.css.
   Goes with js/v2.js. Nearly everything is scoped to html.v2; the inline script
   in <head> adds that class, so these styles apply only when scripting is on.

   1 hero reel badge · 2 story navigation, focus reading, $12 countdown ·
   3 the three-legged stool · 4 Oval Office reveal · 5 speaking still + play
   cursor · 6 phone: chapter pill, Keep reading, Get in touch button
