       The GLOBAL .stats rule (critical.css) applies margin-top:-2.5rem to pull the card up
       and overlap the hero photo on the HOME page. On About there is no hero above it — the
       element above is the "Whole Spices / Ground Spices" tag row — so that negative pull
       drags the card ~12px OVER the tags on mobile. Reset it here (page-scoped, so Home is
       untouched) and give the card a normal, positive gap from the story section instead. */
