   Article-well pin styles (ported 2026-05-30 from _docs/discovery-well-preview.html,
   approved). Turns the clicked-pin content well (#geo-content-well) into a
   wikipedia-article-style CENTERED MODAL + scrim. The structural rules here are
   ID-prefixed (#geo-content-well.aw-well) so they override the older anchored
   .geo-content-well positioning without deleting it. Source/look: the preview.
   Var mapping: preview --bg/--bg2/--card/--bright/--text -> live --bg-primary/
   --bg-secondary/--bg-card/--text-bright/--text-primary; --cyan/--teal unchanged;
   no live "muted" var so --aw-muted defined locally. Well bg keeps the preview's
   literal rgba(15,31,58,.96) to match the approved look exactly.
