/* =========================================================
   RESPONSIVE
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   Every panel here is position:fixed, so on a phone it has to
   live inside one screen: it can never be scrolled into view.
   Two rules follow from that:
     1. Panels are sized in svh (the SMALLEST viewport), so the
        browser's address bar can never clip them, and they do
        not re-centre when that bar hides — no jump mid-scroll.
     2. Panels reserve the fixed header's height as padding, so
        centred content starts below it instead of under it.
