+// HomepageFaq — Money & process FAQ rendered just above the final CTA band.
+//
+// Why a dedicated component instead of reusing the "Common Questions" block
+// further up the page:
+//   - The questions here target buyers in late-stage evaluation (cost,
+//     timeline, NDA, IP, GeM, stack). They convert better when surfaced next
+//     to the final CTA, not next to the testimonials.
+//   - Emitting FAQPage JSON-LD only once per page is the recommended pattern
+//     for rich-result eligibility. The existing FAQ block above also emits a
+//     FAQPage via <SEO> — so this component renders ONLY the visible UI; the
+//     schema for these questions is appended to the parent's `faq` array in
+//     src/pages/index.astro so Google still sees a single, valid FAQPage with
+//     all 12 Q&A pairs.
+//
+// Accessibility:
+//   - Each question is a real <button> with aria-expanded toggled in JS.
+//   - aria-controls links to the answer region; the region has role="region"
+//     and aria-labelledby pointing back to the question.
+//   - Max-height transition has no layout shift on load — answers are
+//     collapsed (max-height:0) server-side and only the rotating chevron
+//     animates.
+//   - Keyboard: native <button> handles Enter & Space; Tab moves between
+//     items. No custom key handling needed.

+
+// FAQPage JSON-LD — emitted inline so the schema travels with the component.
+// The site-wide <SEO> emits a separate FAQPage for the upper "Common
+// Questions" block; Google tolerates multiple FAQPage entries on the same
+// page as long as each Question is unique, which is true here (cost,
+// timeline, NDA, IP, GeM, stack are all distinct from the generic ones).
