   Layout notes
   · Everything is composed (and fully visible) with no JS. hero.js only adds
     the entrance + idle motion. Idle motion on *inner* wrappers uses CSS
     individual transform props, GSAP owns the outer transforms.
   · The visual stage is a size container: its decorations are sized in cqw so
     the whole composition scales as one piece at every breakpoint.
