Summary

Completes the Discover phase page's remaining section patterns on top of the hero/nav/stats/introduction scaffold in PR #62: the common-services pill list, the phase-aware services card, the support-focus two-column section, the deliverables/role two-card section, the closing CTA, the FAQ accordion, and the "Where to go next" cards. All seven are shared patterns written for reuse across the future Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve phase pages, not Discover-specific.

New patterns

  • phase-common-services.php — "What happens during Discover" pill list + footnote panel
  • phase-services-in-phase.php — auto-detects the current phase by page slug (mirroring phase-journey-nav.php's technique) and renders that phase's service card(s)
  • phase-support-focus.php — two-column support/focus-area section with a CTA button
  • phase-deliverables-and-role.php — "What you receive" / "Your role" two-card section
  • phase-cta.php — closing CTA with a checklist, reusing the existing phase button styles
  • phase-faq.php — "Frequently asked questions", reusing the existing Yoast FAQ block and its schema-faq accordion component as-is (confirmed this matches the only other FAQ pattern in the repo — not core WordPress blocks)
  • phase-where-to-go-next.php — "Where to go next" cards, reusing the existing Card - Link Row section style and Link Arrow Accent paragraph style, built as a real 2-column row rather than the source Figma frame's broken 4-column grid

Accessibility bugs found and fixed

  • Inactive Journey Phases nav links measured 3.58:1 contrast, failing WCAG AA's 4.5:1 — raised the colour-mix from 55% to 70% (verified: now 5.01:1)
  • Fixed the active-phase highlight not surviving pattern flattening (WordPress can freeze a live pattern reference into static content, permanently locking in whatever was active at that moment) — added inc/phase-page-body-class.php, which stamps a page-slug-{phase} class onto <body> on every request, and rewired the nav's active/inactive CSS to key off that class instead of a stale baked-in class
  • Fixed a heading-hierarchy skip: phase-introduction.php's headings were h3 directly under the hero's h1 with no h2 in between — bumped to h2
  • Fixed a second heading-hierarchy skip: phase-where-to-go-next.php's card headings were h4 after an h2 section with no h3 — bumped to h3
  • Fixed the closing CTA's checklist icon: white check on a green circle measured 1.61:1 (fails the 3:1 minimum for non-text UI) — switched to the same text.on-light pairing the Primary button already uses on that background (13:1)
  • Fixed a real colour-token bug: six adaptive section patterns used phase.discover-on-dark (a token meant only for permanently-dark surfaces, fixed at the same bright green in both light and dark mode) instead of the adaptive phase.discover token — in light mode this rendered neon green directly on a light background instead of the correct, accessible dark-green value
  • Fixed a shared-component bug (not scoped to any one pattern, since it affects every consumer of the Yoast FAQ accordion): the closed-row collapse used grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr, which never actually resolved to zero on this element, leaving a large empty gap under every closed question — replaced with a max-height-based collapse
  • Fixed a block-editor crash ("This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed") caused by an invalid "layout":{"type":"flow"} value — flow isn't a registered WordPress layout type

Mobile-specific bugs found and fixed

  • Stat-row dividers on phase-delivery-numbers.php stayed vertical lines once the columns stacked on mobile — added the same divider-flip fix already used on services-delivery-numbers.scss
  • The common-services pill list and the support-focus bullet list both centred their accent marker against a row's full height, which only looked right on a single line — wrapped/longer labels left the marker floating above the visual centre; fixed by centring against the first line specifically

Visual refinement passes (against Figma/prototype reference)

  • phase-services-in-phase.php: fixed a single service stretching to full row width, added a phase-accented icon well, fixed hover colours falling back to a generic cyan instead of the phase accent
  • phase-support-focus.php, phase-deliverables-and-role.php, phase-cta.php: heading-wrap fixes, container widths, typography sizing, spacing, and (for the CTA) a background grid effect matching the hero's own technique
  • phase-faq.php: container widths, typography, and a full visual redesign of the accordion row (radius, border, spacing, and a new CSS-only circular plus/minus control) scoped to this pattern only — the homepage FAQ and any other consumer of the shared accordion are unaffected
  • phase-where-to-go-next.php: container width, card gap, equal-height cards with bottom-aligned CTAs (using core/columns' native equal-height stretch plus one scoped height:100% rule — no fixed heights, no CSS Grid rebuild)
  • Section background rebalance: phase-support-focus.php, phase-common-services.php, phase-delivery-numbers.php gained the surface.card background; phase-services-in-phase.php and phase-deliverables-and-role.php were reverted back to the default canvas background

All phase-accent colour overrides throughout (hover states, FAQ open-border, nav active state) are scoped via either a pattern-specific class or the page-slug-{phase} body class, so none of the shared components' defaults change for their other consumers (homepage FAQ, Work archive, Services page).

Scope and exclusions

Content/colour parity for Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve is intentionally deferred to the Pattern Overrides conversion, same as noted in PR #62 — every pattern here is still authored with Discover's own copy for now. SEO metadata and a dedicated cross-browser/device QA pass are not part of this PR.

assets/css/*.css (9 files) are Sass-compiled build output, not hand-authored, and are excluded from the reviewable-file count below.

This PR is large: 24 reviewable files / ~1,514 lines, over both this repo's preferred budget (~15 files/~400 lines) and its "needs a stack or documented exception" threshold (~25 files/~800 lines). It is already the second half of a 2-PR stack split from a single 46-file branch (see PR #62) along the cleanest available seam — the point where the original hero/nav/stats/introduction scaffold ends and seven newer, independently-developed patterns begin. Splitting further would cut through individual patterns' own "add it → refine it → fix its bugs" history, which the stack was deliberately designed to avoid. Flagging this size explicitly per review-budget policy rather than proceeding silently.

Screenshots/video

Not included — every pattern listed above was already visually verified in-browser against its Figma/prototype reference during development (desktop, mobile, and relevant hover/interactive states — see individual commit messages for specifics per pattern), rather than as new unreviewed work being submitted here for the first time.

Accessibility notes

Every accessibility bug listed above was found and verified with actual computed contrast calculations (WCAG relative-luminance formula) or a live editor/browser session, not assumed — see the "Accessibility bugs found and fixed" section. Target: WCAG 2.2 AA.

Stack

Test plan

  • php -l on all 12 changed/added PHP files — no syntax errors
  • npm run schema:validate — all JSON passes
  • npm run lint:json — all JSON valid
  • npm run security:scan — passed
  • npm run patterns:escape — 3 pre-existing-pattern warnings reviewed individually: phase-faq.php (wp_json_encode inside a block-comment JSON attribute, same convention already accepted elsewhere in this repo, e.g. template-search.php), phase-journey-nav.php (the same pattern, with additional JSON_HEX_* escaping), and phase-services-in-phase.php (a ternary echoing two hardcoded string literals, no external input) — none are real issues
  • npm run build:css — compiled output matches what's committed, no stray diff
  • Full cross-browser/device QA pass and axe/accessibility re-verification against this exact merged branch — individual fixes were verified as each bug was found; a fresh end-to-end pass is still outstanding before this ships

Changelog decision

meta:needs-changelog — this branch's CHANGELOG.md already carries the real entries for this work (added incrementally throughout development); this is the owning PR for changelog purposes within this stack, since PR #62 (the supporting/foundational layer) was intentionally left meta:no-changelog.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added phase-page sections for common services, deliverables, support focus, FAQs, closing calls to action, and suggested next steps.
    • Added phase-specific accents to service cards, FAQs, suggested next steps, and journey navigation across phase pages.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved FAQ expand-and-collapse behavior.
    • Refined mobile layouts for service groups, focus areas, and delivery statistics.

New patterns (patterns/sections/)
- phase-common-services.php: "What happens during Discover" pill list + footnote
- phase-services-in-phase.php: auto-detects current phase, renders that phase's service card(s)
- phase-support-focus.php: two-column support/focus-area section with CTA button
- phase-deliverables-and-role.php: "What you receive" / "Your role" two-card section
- phase-cta.php: closing CTA with checklist, reuses existing phase button styles

Conventions followed
- All generic/reusable across the six phase pages, not Discover-only
- Discover green via existing var(--wp--custom--color--phase--discover-on-dark) token, no hardcoded hex
- No new SCSS — reuses existing pill, card, icon-well and button styles throughout
- phase-services-in-phase.php mirrors phase-journey-nav.php's live phase-detection technique

Fix
- phase-support-focus.php: button was unstyled and rendered in the sitewide default
  (cyan-blue) instead of the phase accent color; now uses is-style-button-phase-primary

Testing
- Inserted as live wp:pattern references on /services/discover/ (589)
- Verified in Site Editor: all 5 new patterns validate cleanly, no "Attempt recovery" warnings
- Confirmed no PHP notices/warnings/fatals on render
Width fixes
- phase-common-services.php, phase-services-in-phase.php,
  phase-support-focus.php, phase-deliverables-and-role.php: top-level
  content wrappers were missing "align":"wide", so they silently
  inherited the theme's default 800px contentSize instead of the
  wideSize token, even where an explicit wider contentSize was set
- phase-common-services.php: pill list now capped at 1050px, footnote
  panel at 900px (previously the footnote's border box was rendering
  wide while only its inner text was constrained — moved the
  border/padding to a nested inner block so the box itself is capped)

Spacing consistency
- phase-common-services.php: standardized all four vertical gaps
  (heading, intro, eyebrow, pills, footnote) to the same
  var:preset|spacing|30 token, previously a mix of 20/40/30

Typography
- phase-common-services.php: tightened line-height on the H2 heading
  and "Most common services" eyebrow to var:custom|line-height|heading-snug
  (existing token, same one h1 already uses sitewide) — these short
  single-line elements were inheriting the sitewide heading-default/
  paragraph line-height ratios meant for multi-line text, which baked
  extra invisible leading into the gaps around them and made otherwise
  identical margin values look uneven
Bug fix
- Active-phase highlighting relied entirely on PHP logic baked into the pattern's stored content at render time
- WordPress routinely flattens a live pattern reference into a frozen static copy (e.g. simply opening a page in the editor), permanently freezing whatever active state existed at that moment
- Re-attaching the pattern only reset the clock until the next flatten, not a real fix

Fix
- Add inc/phase-page-body-class.php: stamps a page-slug-{phase} class onto <body> on the six phase pages, recomputed by WordPress on every single request regardless of how the page's blocks are stored
- phase-journey-nav.php: always render the dot marker instead of only when PHP thinks it's active, so CSS alone can decide whether to show it
- phase-journey-nav.scss: drive active/inactive link colour and dot visibility from the body class instead of the old is-active class, with higher selector specificity so it wins even over a stale/incorrect flattened copy
- Rebuild assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css

Consistency
- phase-delivery-numbers.php: switch the stat number colour from the generic brand token to the Discover phase colour token
- phase-introduction.php: switch the "Introduction" eyebrow colour from the generic brand token to the Discover phase colour token
- Both now match the same base-pattern convention already used in phase-hero.php and phase-journey-nav.php ahead of the future per-phase Pattern Overrides work

Verification
- Deliberately flattened the nav with no real page context (confirmed zero is-active classes anywhere in the resulting markup) and confirmed the correct phase still highlights correctly on the front end
… contrast bug)

Bug
- Six adaptive section patterns (not permanently-dark like the hero/nav) used
  phase.discover-on-dark as their accent colour, with a same-value fallback to
  phase.discover that never actually triggered
- discover-on-dark is a fixed token meant only for permanently-dark surfaces:
  it resolves to the same bright phase-one green (#5DE81C) in both the site's
  light and dark style variations
- In light mode this rendered bright neon green text/icons/borders directly on
  a light background instead of the correct, accessible phase-one-strong
  (#32800D) - the adaptive phase.discover token was already the right one to
  use, no fallback needed

Fix
- phase-delivery-numbers.php, phase-introduction.php, phase-common-services.php,
  phase-services-in-phase.php, phase-deliverables-and-role.php,
  phase-support-focus.php: replace the discover-on-dark fallback with the
  plain, adaptive phase.discover token
- Update phase-common-services.php's docblock to explain the token choice

Unaffected
- phase-hero.php and phase-journey-nav.php are permanently-dark components and
  correctly keep using phase.discover-on-dark - no change needed there
Layout
- Replace core/columns per-service grid with a left-aligned flex row (a lone
  service, e.g. Discover's single card, was stretching to the full row width
  since a single core/column always fills 100%)
- Give each card a fixed width via layout.selfStretch/flexSize (the native WP
  mechanism already used on the Journey Phases nav) instead of an unsupported
  custom width property
- Constrain the intro heading/paragraph group and the card description text
  to sensible max-widths so both wrap naturally

Heading
- Switch the section heading from H2/fontSize 700 to H3/fontSize 500, local to
  this pattern only - incidentally fixes a pre-existing H2 to H4 heading-level
  skip on this section, not just a visual size fix
- Centre the intro paragraph correctly under the heading

Card and icon
- Section background switched to surface.card, matching the same lifted-panel
  convention already used on Phase Delivery Numbers
- Replace the shared, non-phase-coloured ls-icon-well-brand icon well with a
  smaller, phase-accented circular well local to this pattern (border/radius/
  colour-mix, same technique as phase-hero.php's own badge)
- Tighten internal card spacing (icon, title, description, CTA)
- Make the icon well and CTA link colour phase-aware using this pattern's
  existing per-page phase detection, rather than hardcoded to Discover

Hover states
- Add src/scss/structural/phase-services-in-phase.scss: overrides two shared,
  non-phase-aware hover custom properties (the card's hover border-colour and
  the CTA link's hover colour), both of which were falling back to a generic
  sitewide cyan-blue link-accent token instead of the phase colour
- Card hover border uses a muted colour-mix rather than a full-strength swap,
  toning down an overly strong hover effect
- Scoped via the existing page-slug-{phase} body class + a new
  ls-phase-services-in-phase section class, so no other consumer of the
  shared card/link styles is affected, and this is reusable as-is once the
  pattern is attached to the other five phase pages
- Wire the new file into functions.php, inc/animations.php and package.json's
  build scripts; rebuild assets/css/phase-services-in-phase.css

Verification
- Confirmed zero invalid blocks in a live editor session (found and fixed one
  missing has-border-color/has-background class along the way)
- Confirmed hover colours with a real mouse hover, not just computed values
Layout
- Widen eyebrow/heading wrapper to theme's wide alignment (no custom px) so "AI Readiness Assessment" stays on one line
- Add top margin above eyebrow/heading group for breathing room from previous section
- Use theme wide alignment for the two-column row instead of full alignwide
- Widen column gutter between text and focus-area card (spacing|60 → spacing|70)

Typography
- Reduce left-column body copy and focus-card heading/list text (fontSize 300 → 200)
- Tighten line-height (1.5) and paragraph spacing (spacing|20 → spacing|10)
- Reduce CTA top margin (spacing|40 → spacing|30)

Bullets
- Replace filled/tinted lightspeed/dot icon bullet with a hollow 1px-outlined circle in the Discover accent color
- Center each bullet row vertically so the circle aligns with its list text

Context
- Scoped entirely to patterns/sections/phase-support-focus.php per approved refinement pass
- Discover accent color, structure, CTA arrow, and card styling left unchanged
- CHANGELOG.md updated under [Unreleased] (LS-4179)
Layout
- Widen heading wrapper so it stays on one line (size/level unchanged)
- Restore native equal-height column stretch, removing the verticalAlignment override that was disabling it
- Contain and centre the two-card row, tighten the gutter between cards

Surface & typography
- Section background: surface.card; card background: surface.card-raised (one step lighter)
- Resize card heading/paragraph/list text to match reference; tighten list spacing; restore card padding

Bullet fix
- Align bullet dots to the first line of wrapped text instead of the whole block, using measured geometry

Unaffected
- Discover accent colour and all shared/global styles untouched
Bug fix
- patterns/sections/phase-support-focus.php: changed the eyebrow/heading
  wrapper and two-column wrapper groups from "layout":{"type":"flow"} to
  "layout":{"type":"default"}
- "flow" is not a registered WordPress layout type (valid types are
  default, constrained, flex, grid); the invalid type crashed the block
  editor's layout rendering for these two groups, showing "This block
  has encountered an error and cannot be previewed"

Context
- Introduced while widening these wrappers to the theme's wide alignment
  in an earlier refinement pass; "default" preserves the same full-width
  stacking behaviour with a valid type
- Scoped entirely to patterns/sections/phase-support-focus.php (LS-4179)
Layout
- Widen heading wrapper so it stays on one line (size/level unchanged)
- Restore native equal-height column stretch, removing the verticalAlignment override that was disabling it
- Contain and centre the two-card row, tighten the gutter between cards

Typography
- Resize card heading/paragraph/list text to match reference; tighten list spacing; restore card padding

Bullet fix
- Align bullet dots to the first line of wrapped text instead of the whole block, using measured geometry

Card styling
- Revert card background to transparent (border only) per design feedback, after a solid surface.card-raised fill didn't land well

Unaffected
- Discover accent colour and all shared/global styles untouched
Layout
- Keep heading on one line via independent width wrapper + rebalanced 62/38 columns
- Widen gutter between columns to spacing|100 (largest token)
- Switch to a plain align:wide row, matching other phase-page patterns

Typography & buttons
- Narrower paragraph wrapper with tighter line-height; all text stays 16px+
- Reduce button padding via local overrides (shared button styles untouched)

Checklist accessibility fix
- Check icon on green circle measured 1.61:1 contrast (fails WCAG 3:1 minimum)
- Switch to text.on-light (13:1), same pairing the Primary button already uses
- Mute checklist label colour for hierarchy; bump icon size/gap slightly

Background
- New phase-cta.scss: same grid-over-gradient technique as the hero, own scoped class
Background colours
- phase-support-focus.php, phase-common-services.php,
  phase-delivery-numbers.php: added the surface|card background —
  these are the only three sections that should use it
- phase-services-in-phase.php, phase-deliverables-and-role.php:
  removed the surface|card background, reverting to the default
  canvas background

Spacing
- phase-support-focus.php: increased the gap above the two-column
  content row and above the CTA button (spacing|40 → spacing|60 for
  both), keeping them equal so the section reads consistently spaced
  top and bottom of the content block

Context
- Follow-up refinement to the Discover page section backgrounds and
  Phase Support Focus spacing (LS-4179)
Bug fix
- src/scss/structural/phase-delivery-numbers.scss (new): below the
  782px columns-stacking breakpoint, flips each stat segment's
  divider from border-inline-end to border-block-end and strips it
  from the last stat — mirrors services-delivery-numbers.scss exactly
- assets/css/phase-delivery-numbers.css (new): compiled output

Wiring
- package.json: added the new SCSS → CSS mapping to build:css,
  build:css:dev, and watch:css
- inc/animations.php: registered the phase-delivery-numbers bundle,
  conditional on the six phase-page slugs (same pattern as
  phase-services-in-phase/phase-cta)
- functions.php: added the editor-style enqueue

Context
- The 3-stat row (patterns/sections/phase-delivery-numbers.php) reuses
  the shared is-style-stat-segment divider, which is a vertical border
  by default — correct in the desktop row but left as a stray vertical
  line once WP stacks the columns to one-per-row on mobile
- No PHP pattern changes needed; this was a missing CSS partial (LS-4179)
Bug fix
- src/scss/structural/phase-common-services.scss (new): below 782px,
  stacks the pill list into a single column, reduces the stadium
  border-radius to a smaller rounded-rectangle radius, and nudges the
  accent dot down so it centres on the label's first line instead of
  the whole (possibly wrapped) row
- src/scss/structural/phase-support-focus.scss (new): same first-line
  centring fix for the hollow-circle bullets in the focus-area list,
  computed from this bullet's own size (border + spacing|5 padding)
- assets/css/phase-common-services.css, assets/css/phase-support-focus.css
  (new): compiled output
- patterns/sections/phase-support-focus.php: added a className to the
  focus-area list wrapper so the new CSS can scope to it

Wiring
- package.json: added both new SCSS → CSS mappings to build:css,
  build:css:dev, and watch:css
- inc/animations.php: registered both bundles, conditional on the six
  phase-page slugs (same pattern as the other phase bundles)
- functions.php: added both editor-style enqueues

Context
- Both bullets/dots were vertically centred against a row's full
  height, correct only while the label stayed on one line; once a
  label wraps (mobile width, or a longer label), the marker floated
  above the visual centre of the wrapped text instead of levelling
  with its first line (LS-4179)
New patterns
- patterns/sections/phase-faq.php: shared "Frequently asked
  questions" section for all six lifecycle phase pages, currently
  authored with Discover's own five questions
- patterns/sections/phase-where-to-go-next.php: shared "Where to go
  next" section, currently authored with Discover's own two
  next-step cards, in a real 2-column row (the source Figma frame's
  4-column grid was broken and only ever renders two cards)

Reuse (no new components, no new tokens)
- FAQ reuses the existing yoast/faq-block + schema-faq accordion
  (patterns/section-faq.php, faq.scss, faq-accordion.js) as-is
- Where To Go Next reuses the existing Card - Link Row section style
  and Link Arrow Accent paragraph style, the same "Explore
  service"/"Read more" convention already used in
  phase-services-in-phase.php

Phase colour accents
- src/scss/structural/phase-faq.scss, phase-where-to-go-next.scss
  (new): phase-scoped colour overrides (page-slug-{phase} body
  class, one rule per phase) so the FAQ's open-state border/icon and
  the cards' hover border/background/icon/link colours match the
  current phase's accent instead of the sitewide generic link-accent
  token — without touching the shared components' defaults used
  elsewhere (homepage FAQ, Work archive, Services page)
- assets/css/phase-faq.css, phase-where-to-go-next.css (new):
  compiled output

Wiring
- package.json: added both SCSS → CSS mappings to build:css,
  build:css:dev, and watch:css
- inc/animations.php: registered both bundles, conditional on the
  six phase-page slugs (same pattern as the other phase bundles)
- functions.php: added both editor-style enqueues
- CHANGELOG.md: added [Unreleased] entry (LS-4179)
Refinement pass
- phase-faq.php: wider unified containers so the heading stays on
  one line, intro paragraph resized to standard body token, re-
  centred after review
- phase-faq.scss: scoped visual redesign of the shared schema-faq
  accordion for this pattern only — larger radius, subtler border,
  tighter row gap, taller centred rows, CSS-only circular
  plus/minus control in the phase accent colour

Bug fix
- faq.scss: fixed a large empty gap under closed FAQ rows — the
  shared accordion's grid-template-rows collapse never actually
  resolved to zero on this element; replaced with a reliable
  max-height collapse. Fixed at the root since it affects every
  consumer of this shared component, not just this pattern
- Also fixed a specificity bug where the old chevron's rotation was
  still overriding the new plus/minus icon on open

Confirmed this pattern uses the Yoast FAQ block, matching existing
precedent in the repo (LS-4179)
Layout
- phase-where-to-go-next.php: narrowed the cards row into a
  centred 1050px container (was full-width align:wide), tightened
  the card gap, increased the eyebrow-to-cards gap and section
  bottom padding, reduced card title/CTA typography to closer
  tokens (still above the 16px floor)
- Removed verticalAlignment:"top" from the columns/column blocks so
  core/columns' default equal-height column stretch applies

Equal height + bottom-aligned CTAs
- phase-where-to-go-next.scss: scoped override so each card fills
  its now-equal-height column (height:100%), which combined with
  the card's existing flex-column layout and the "Read more" link's
  existing margin-top:auto bottom-aligns both CTAs regardless of
  description length — no fixed heights, no grid rebuild needed
- Also increased card padding, reduced border radius, and softened
  the border colour, scoped to this pattern only so the Work
  archive and Services page's use of the same shared Card - Link Row
  style is unaffected. Discover phase accent colour unchanged

Follow-up
- Widened the cards container back up to 1050px after review (an
  existing width already used elsewhere in this pattern family)
  once the first narrower pass over-corrected the card widths
Bug fix
- Raise inactive phase-nav link color mix from 55% to 70% opacity
  to meet WCAG AA 4.5:1 contrast (was 3.58:1)
- Bump phase-introduction headings from h3 to h2 (were skipping h2
  directly under the h1 hero)
- Bump phase-where-to-go-next card headings from h4 to h3 (were
  skipping h3 after an h2 section)

Context
- Found via SINGLE_PAGE_URL playwright run against
  /services/discover/ (accessibility + page-structure specs)
- Rebuilt assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css from the updated SCSS
…ld-discover-page

Conflict resolution
- package.json: kept both branches' additions to build:css/build:css:dev/
  watch:css (this branch's new phase-pattern SCSS entries plus the
  scaffold branch's image-captions entry)
- CHANGELOG.md: kept both branches' [Unreleased] entries
- src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss,
  assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css: kept this branch's version over the
  scaffold branch's. Both independently fixed the same inactive-link
  contrast bug (pre-dating the branch split), but this branch's fix also
  resolves a second bug — the active phase highlight not surviving
  pattern flattening, via the page-slug-{phase} body class in
  inc/phase-page-body-class.php — which the scaffold branch's simpler
  fix does not address. Verified both fixes clear WCAG AA (5.01:1 here
  vs 8.95:1 on the scaffold side) before choosing this one for the extra
  bug fix, not just higher contrast.

All other files auto-merged cleanly.

Review comments at @patterns/sections/phase-services-in-phase.php:
- Around line 138-157: Move the phase-dependent service selection and markup
generation out of the top-level pattern code into a request-time dynamic
rendering callback, since get_queried_object() is unavailable when the pattern
is registered. Ensure the callback resolves the current phase before selecting
from $ls_phase_services_by_phase and rendering the matching services, rather
than relying on the live wp:pattern reference to rerun the PHP.

Review comments at @src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss:
- Around line 54-100: Update the head-time stylesheet-loading condition so
phase-journey-nav.css loads on every phase page—Discover, Create, Build, Launch,
Grow, and Evolve—instead of only Discover. Keep the render_block fallback for
non-phase contexts.

Bug fix
- Widen the phase-journey-nav stylesheet's head-time condition from is_page('discover') to all six phase slugs, matching phase-services-in-phase's condition
- Previously relied on the render_block/footer fallback for Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve, which prints after first paint — causing a flash of unstyled/inactive nav styling on those five pages

Context
- Addresses CodeRabbit's comment #2 on PR #64 (src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss:100)
