/* ==========================================================================
   leoliebenberg.com — v3
   One point cloud, six chapters. Dark, Trevern teal, zero dependencies.

   Structure:
     01 fonts · 02 tokens · 03 reset · 04 type · 05 layout · 06 canvas/stage
     07 nav · 08 hero · 09 reveal · 10 components · 11 footer
     12 reduced-motion · 13 print

   Rules that are load-bearing, not taste:
   - Section surfaces stay TRANSLUCENT. An opaque panel walls off the WebGL
     field and reads as a dead black slab. (v2 gotcha 3 — do not "fix" this.)
   - Only transform and opacity animate. Never `transition: all`.
   - Canvas is 100lvh, never dvh (dvh re-resolves on every URL-bar collapse).
   - Every cursor effect is gated on (hover:hover) and (pointer:fine) in JS,
     not just here — CSS media queries do not govern rAF code.
