 */

/*
 * The hero must never spill into the second scroll (client feedback 2026-08-03).
 * The mockup's `min-height:680px` × 1.25 = the 850px ceiling below, which is
 * taller than the viewport on every laptop once the 135px sticky header is
 * subtracted — a 1822×852 window cut the spine card's "APPLICATION → CLOSE"
 * footer off entirely.
 *
 * `min()` caps the band at exactly one screen, so the hero ends on the fold at
 * any window height and still honours the mockup's 850px on tall monitors.
 * It stays a `min-height`, not a `height`, so on a very short window the box
 * still grows to its own content rather than clipping it.
 *
 * `svh` (not `vh`) so a mobile browser's collapsing URL bar can't make the hero
 * taller than the visible area; the `vh` line above it is the fallback for
 * engines without `svh`.

	 * (`padding-inline: max(0px, calc((100% - 1600px) / 2))`, which paints
	 * full-bleed anyway since background covers the padding box). It did what it

	 * 236px instead of growing with the monitor (405px at 1822, ~800px at 2560)
	 * — but it made the hero indent against the full-bleed sections below it,
	 * 160px at 1920 and 480px at 2560, and the developer judged that worse than
	 * the gap it fixed. **Don't re-derive it: it was measured and rejected, not
	 * overlooked.**
	 *
	 * Everything else in this file's fold-fit work is unaffected — that all
	 * lands at 1600 and below, which is where the design ceiling is.
