feat(articles): visual upgrades — timeline, callouts, cards, severity pills

Add 4 reusable CSS article components and apply them across 6 cornerstone articles:

CSS (input.css):
- article-timeline: horizontal phase diagram with numbered cards, collapses to vertical on mobile
- article-callout (warning/tip/info): left-bordered callout boxes with icon and title
- article-cards: 2-col grid of accent-topped cards (success/failure/neutral/established/growth/emerging)
- severity: inline pill badges (high/medium-high/medium/low-medium/low) for risk tables

Articles updated:
- padel-hall-build-guide-en + padel-halle-bauen-de: ASCII code block → timeline HTML; 3 bold/blockquote warnings → callout boxes; success/failure patterns → 4 cards
- padel-hall-investment-risks-en + padel-halle-risiken-de: risk overview table severity → pills; personal guarantee section → callout; risk management section → 4 cards
- padel-hall-location-guide-en + padel-standort-analyse-de: market maturity paragraphs → 3 stage cards

## The Risk No One Talks About: Personal Guarantees
**This section gets skipped in almost every padel hall investment conversation. That's a serious mistake.**
Banks financing a single-asset leisure facility without corporate backing will almost universally require personal guarantees from the principal shareholders. Not as an unusual request — as standard terms for this type of deal.

The investors who succeed long-term in padel aren't the ones who found a risk-free opportunity. There isn't one. They're the ones who went in with their eyes open.
**They modeled the bad scenarios before assuming the good ones.** A business plan that shows only the base case isn't a planning tool — it's wishful thinking. Explicit downside modeling — 40% utilization, six-month delay, new competitor in year three — is the baseline, not an optional exercise.
**They built structural buffers into the plan.** Liquid reserves covering at least six months of fixed costs. Construction contingency treated as a budget line, not a hedge. These aren't comfort margins; they're operational requirements.
**They got the contractual foundations right from the start.** Lease terms. Financing conditions. Guarantee scope. The cost of good legal and financial advice at the planning stage is trivial relative to the downside exposure it addresses.
**They planned for competition.** Not by hoping it wouldn't come, but by building a product — community, quality, service — that gives existing customers a reason to stay when someone cheaper opens nearby.
