   Loads LAST, after style.css → theme.css → animations.css.
   Marketing pages only. owner.html / portal.html never load this file,
   so nothing here can regress the host portals.

   NOTE ON !important: theme.css ships 1252 !important declarations, so
   an override here has to match that weight to land. It is contained to
   this one file on purpose — delete the <link> and the old look returns.

/* ─── 02 · BASE & TYPOGRAPHY ─────────────────────────────────────── */

html { scroll-behavior: smooth; }

/* animations.css:228 parks un-revealed zoom sections at `scale: 1.05`.
   On a full-bleed section any scale above 1 is wider than the viewport,
   so the page carries a horizontal scrollbar until you scroll far enough
   to trigger the reveal.

   Clipping is not the fix here: overflow-x on <html> moves the scrolling
   context, and on <body> it makes body a scroll container — either one
   stops window.scrollTo and strands every scroll-reveal at opacity 0.

   So invert the motion instead. Same settle, same duration, but it grows
   into place from just under 1 rather than shrinking from oversized. */
