feat: build step 1 — scaffold, layout, header, footer, SEO; zero JavaScript

Build order step 1 (docs/01): scaffold, tokens, base layout, header,
footer, SEO component, plus a temporary /type-scale/ proof sheet that
step 2 deletes.

THE FONTS WERE NEVER ON DISK. global.css declared six @font-face rules
pointing at /fonts/*.woff2 and public/fonts/ did not exist, so every
face had been silently falling back to Georgia and the system sans.
Six cuts committed, 123,804 bytes, SIL OFL 1.1, provenance in
docs/reference/fonts-provenance.md. ?v=1 on every URL because the
deploy script serves them immutable for a year.

ZERO JAVASCRIPT. The reveal was an inline IntersectionObserver in
<head>; docs/05 specifies script-src 'self' with no unsafe-inline, so
the only script on the site was the one thing the site's own CSP would
refuse to execute. Replaced with animation-timeline: view() behind
@supports. 0 script tags and 0 .js files in dist.

The infinity mark is lifted verbatim from the deployed site's own
smlMark loading thumbnail, not redrawn (Q32 asks whether a canonical
vector exists). The proof sheet computes its contrast table from
tokens.css rather than restating docs/02 — all eleven ratios reproduce
the measured table exactly.

Register: Canadian Tax Foundation added (§4, R10 widened); Q30 closed
— SML Company Ltd is federally incorporated under the CBCA, and the
footer publishes neither that nor the place of business; Q31 closed —
Plausible, on EU-only data residency (D15 amended). ROLE constants
added for "Director of Firm Operations" and "active litigation
exposure" so step 3 does not hand-type them.

Lighthouse unavailability now stated in six places rather than left as
a control that had silently stopped existing (§7, R11).

Both review agents ran twice. The second pass found four defects in
the first pass's fixes, including the minifier bug written back into
its own fix and a colour-alone repair that used the banned gold-on-
cream pairing at 2.10:1. Measured in headless Chrome at thirteen
widths with a seventh nav item injected: 0 overflow, 0 tap targets
under 44x44, 0 focus-order inversions, state indicators at 12.29:1,
755 words of body text with no JavaScript.

Opened: Q32-Q37. Closed: Q30, Q31.

**This reasoning is Claude's, recorded for Pouya's decision — not yet his call.**
## Not a practice area yet: tax-adjacent disputes
**Canadian Tax Foundation membership is verified** (`AGENTS.md` §4, 2026-08-26)
and it is the one credential none of the six areas above touch. Tax-adjacent
disputes are genuinely ADR territory — valuation and purchase-price disputes on
a share sale, indemnity and earn-out fights that turn on a tax position,
shareholder splits where the assessment is the thing actually in dispute.
**There is no seventh practice page at launch,** for the same reason as the
section above and not a weaker one: a practice page is a claim of present
capability, and there is no track record to point at. A membership is a
credential, not a caseload.
It belongs on `/about/` with the other memberships. Revisit at the **month
1218 review, alongside the Indigenous engagement decision** — one review, two
candidates. Tracked as `AGENTS.md` R3.
