/* ============================================================
   The Nursing Directory — V01 Living Paystub Hero
   Namespaced under .nd-hero so old .hero rules in index.html
   do not cascade into this component.

   Tokens are RE-DECLARED here. The site's V2 tokens are scoped
   to ".v2 { ... }" and the hero sits outside that wrapper, so
   without these declarations every var() resolves to inherit
   from common.css's --text (dark indigo). That made the headline
   render in dark purple instead of cream. Always update this
   block when /index.html .v2 tokens change.
