+## MODIFIED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Design tokens are centralized for the public site
+
+The system SHALL define design tokens in a single source consumed by the public site layout and components. Tokens MUST implement the Heritage Editorial system from `DESIGN.md`: typography family EB Garamond (self-hosted), font scale (display/headline/title/body/label), spacing on an 8px rhythm, border radius `0` for interactive and content surfaces, container max width `1120px`, paper/olive/sage/ink color roles, transition duration/easing, and MUST NOT rely on card shadows as a hierarchy mechanism for regular content.
+
+#### Scenario: Public layout uses shared Heritage Editorial tokens
+
+- **WHEN** a public page is rendered
+- **THEN** visual properties MUST be derived from the centralized token definitions rather than arbitrary inline values
+- **AND** the primary typeface MUST be EB Garamond (or the declared serif fallback stack)
+- **AND** public content surfaces MUST use `0` border radius from tokens
+
+#### Scenario: Palette commits paper and olive regions
+
+- **WHEN** the public site is rendered
+- **THEN** background regions MUST use paper ivory / paper deep / olive deep tokens rather than pure white card stacks on a white page
+- **AND** primary interactive emphasis MUST use olive heritage (`#556B2F`) / olive deep (`#3E5219`) tokens
+
+### Requirement: Public site respects reduced motion preference
+
+The system SHALL honor `prefers-reduced-motion` by disabling or minimizing non-essential animations and transitions on the public site, including image hover scales and menu transitions.
+
+#### Scenario: User prefers reduced motion
+
+- **WHEN** a visitor has `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` enabled
+- **THEN** the public site MUST NOT play non-essential motion effects
+
+### Requirement: Public site meets baseline accessibility contrast
+
+The system SHALL use Heritage Editorial color combinations that meet WCAG AA contrast requirements for text and interactive elements. Long-form text MUST use ink on paper; sage MUST NOT replace reading color when contrast would fall below AA.
+
+#### Scenario: Primary text is readable
+
+- **WHEN** primary body text is rendered on its background color
+- **THEN** the contrast ratio MUST meet WCAG AA minimums
+
+#### Scenario: Olive on paper interactive text is readable
+
+- **WHEN** primary buttons or links use olive tokens on paper backgrounds (or paper text on olive)
+- **THEN** the contrast ratio MUST meet WCAG AA minimums
+
+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Elevation comes from tonal fields not card shadows
+
+The public site SHALL express hierarchy through tonal paper fields, 1px botanical rules, and editorial overlap. Regular content components MUST NOT use short grey SaaS card shadows.
+
+#### Scenario: Content cards omit drop shadows
+
+- **WHEN** home services, testimonials, or portfolio items are rendered
+- **THEN** they MUST NOT depend on `--amare-shadow-*` card elevation for hierarchy
+- **AND** separation MUST come from borders, tonal backgrounds, or whitespace
