+<!--
+  Interactive click-through mock of the onboarding flow, styled to match Claude.ai onboarding
+  (spark + wordmark top-center, serif headings, line icons, white CTA, flat warm near-black,
+  content vertically centered). One thing per screen: cards -> name -> personalize -> connect ->
+  payoff. Real fonts are Copernicus/Styrene; this falls back to Georgia + system sans.
