       left this section looking like a plain dark block instead of the

       Path is relative to THIS FILE (assets/css/page-about.css), not a
       PHP-templated theme-root URL - <?php ?> tags never work inside a
       .css file, since WordPress serves it as a static asset (wp_enqueue_
       style() just links straight to the file, nothing ever runs it
       through PHP) - confirmed live via DevTools showing the literal,
       unevaluated "<?php echo esc_url( $tdu ); ?>" text breaking the
       url(), which is why the background never rendered at all despite
       the file (assets/img/spread-wide.webp) existing all along. */
