/* ============================================================================
   AVODAS — design system
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Colour discipline (the rule that keeps gold + purple from going gaudy):
     · Brass is the BRAND. It appears in rules, eyebrows, the wordmark accent,
       and core-service moments. It is warm and muted, never yellow.
     · Royal is SCARCE and means PREMIUM. It appears only on the Enterprise
       tier and the digital-twin work, and nowhere else. Because it is rare,
       it reads as value rather than decoration.
     · The two are never placed adjacent at equal weight. Brass lives in type
       and hairlines; royal lives in surfaces.

   CONTENT IS NEVER HIDDEN BEHIND SCRIPT.

   This previously used an IntersectionObserver to fade blocks in on scroll, and
   the observer stopped firing after the first few — leaving 24 of 28 blocks at
   opacity 0 forever. The page served a headline and then five thousand pixels of
   nothing. A marketing page must render with scripting broken, slow, or absent.

   So `.reveal` no longer hides anything. The only motion is a CSS-only entrance
   on the first screenful, which runs off the document timeline and cannot get
   stuck: even mid-animation the element is painted, and if animations are
   disabled entirely the content is simply there.
*/
.reveal { opacity: 1; transform: none; }

/* NOTE: this animates TRANSFORM ONLY, never opacity — deliberately.
   An entrance that fades from opacity 0 leaves the content invisible for as long
   as the animation fails to run, and "fails to run" is a real state (a paused
   compositor, an odd rendering mode, an aggressive extension). Sliding a fully
   opaque element into place degrades to "already in place", which is harmless.
   Text on this site is never transparent at any point in its lifecycle. */
