  * App Dashboard: Support CTA (simplified hero, no progress meter)
  * ---------------------------------------------------------------
- * - Strips gradient background and complex card in the hero.
- * - Removes goal/progress UI entirely.
- * - Keeps the rest of the page (support cards, philosophy, free ways) intact.
+ * - Minimal hero to match site chrome.
+ * - No goal/progress UI.
+ * - Consistent CTA buttons with solid, high-contrast fills.
+ * - Tips/perks render as inline chips so they wrap smoothly.
