Accordion Component (WCAG AAA)
Cloudflare Pages free tier provides unlimited bandwidth and zero invocation costs for static assets across 20,000 pages. Bypassing Workers ensures 0ms TTFB and prevents monthly invocation bill shocks under heavy traffic.
OKLCH is perceptually uniform. Pure RGB blacks (#000000) look dead and synthetic. Tinting neutrals towards the brand hue creates digital depth while maintaining exact mathematical lightness curves and WCAG AAA contrast.
Modify src/config/site.config.ts. The master layout automatically derives all CSS variables, SVG logos, metadata, navigation, and metrics without modifying any template HTML files.
