- tailwind.config.ts: darkMode "class" → "media"
- globals.css: .dark { } → @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root { } }
All dark: utility classes in components work automatically with either mode.
No toggle UI existed, so nothing else to remove.

Previous version was full of designer-speak ("the heartbeat of this theme",
"digital garden", "a statement about how I view software"). Rewrote to match
the author's actual writing style: direct, structural, explains the why behind
decisions, honest about issues encountered. Same content, stripped of the
metaphors.

Hotlap is a friend's project; swapped for beenCMS, a white-label Next.js
CMS engine (fork-once, block editor, runtime theming, SQLite) which is
Sean's own active project.

Replaced the dense mini-CV homepage with an editorial landing page:
- Hero: punchy one-liner ("Researcher & builder. HRI at BU, motorsports
software at Riverhead.") instead of a paragraph bio
- Currently building: Riverhead Raceway mobile app (racehub-app) and
Hotlap (Go monorepo race event management platform)
- Featured work: Honors thesis, IEEE RO-MAN 2025, Riverhead Raceway site,
beenvoice — each with description, tags, and a direct action button
- Education: compact 2-col grid (BU + Bucknell) replaces the full card layout
- Explore: same 3-col nav to Projects / Publications / CV

Previously grid-equal-height, card-full-height, card-content-stretch, and
card-hover were all undefined class names doing nothing. Now defined:
- .grid-equal-height > * { height: 100% } — forces every grid child to fill
its row height, making adjacent cards stretch to match the tallest sibling
- .card-full-height { h-full } — card fills its wrapper
- .card-content-stretch { flex-1 } — CardContent grows to push footer down
- .card-hover — subtle shadow + ring lift on hover

- tailwind.config.ts: add <alpha-value> to all color definitions so opacity
modifiers (ring-foreground/10, outline-ring/50) render correctly
- globals.css: move @keyframes out of @theme inline block (v4-only, ignored
by browser in v3); remove @custom-variant block (also v4-only)
- page.tsx, experience/page.tsx, publications/page.tsx: remove pb-3 from
CardHeaders and pt-0 from CardContents — new shadcn card uses gap-4 so
these overrides added extra space instead of removing it
