/* =========================================================
   FAQ / "GET TO KNOW ME" ACCORDION — new section, added between
   Project Index and About & Contact per Saeed's reference video
   (a black-background FAQ accordion seen on another portfolio
   site). Structure/behavior matched as closely as possible:
   single rounded container holding N stacked rows (not separate
   cards), hairline dividers between rows, single-item-open
   accordion, +/× icon rotation, smooth grid-based height
   animation (no JS height measurement). Black background — same
   intentional palette exception as case-study heroes and the
   Related-projects strip, so no section-divider hairline is
   needed before/after this section; the color shift itself marks
   the boundary (same convention used at Hero→case-hero and
   case-related→footer elsewhere in the codebase).
   Content is placeholder — draft questions written for Saeed's
   review at the content-writing stage, not final copy.

   .vamco-*. Two structural changes from the old embedded
   version, per the new Figma export: (1) gallery simplified
   from a 5-row VARIED grid (full/half/triple/asym/cinematic)
   to UNIFORM stacked 16:9 rows — same system for every future
   case study, only row count varies per project; (2) no more
   page-local prev/next footer — every case-study page just
   ends into the shared site footer (nav.js/footer.js), same
   as Home. .case-hero__media now also supports a real <img>
   (VAMCO has one), not just the placeholder — future case
