/* =============================================================================
   REQUEST TO JOIN — the application page.
   The valley system's third page: shares tokens, nav, button, pill, aura and
   footer with the lander + about page. All design decisions here are the FORM
   itself; everything else is lifted verbatim.

   NO BACKEND (2026-10-23 Dylan): the form submits to nothing. On submit the JS
   intercepts, shows the thank-you state, and the fields clear. Wire a real
   endpoint by swapping the form's action= and dropping the preventDefault.
