/* ========================================================================
   Case pages: device frames + unified stat cards   (mw-52q.2, designer)
   Append to style.css AFTER the existing .case-* block (order matters: the
   --device hero stage and the .case-stats rules below override earlier ones).

   Rules of the road
   - Pure CSS. No image overlays, no JS, no new dependency, no build step.
   - The <img> IS the screen. The frame is drawn around it with border,
     radius, box-shadow and two pseudo-elements, so any aspect ratio works
     and nothing costs a network round trip.
   - Hardware colour is theme-independent (a phone does not turn white in
     light mode). Only the STAGE behind it reads the site tokens, so a future
     light theme changes --card / --border and nothing here.
   - Tokens reused: --card, --border, --primary, --radius-lg, --spacing-*,
     --gcard-shadow, --glow-subtle, --font-*. No new colour is introduced
     except the two hardware neutrals below.

/* ========================================
   SCROLL HERO (Kaushik 2026-09-16; pattern: sonsanddaughters.xyz)

   html.scroll-hero-on (script.js) = 220svh pinned hero. At rest the whole mosaic sits under the
   header as a smaller landscape picture; scrolling zooms it up until it fills the viewport, then
   the pin ends and the page carries on down (Kaushik 2026-09-18: no clipped band).
   Only transforms and opacity animate; script.js sets the rest box once per refresh.
