/* ============================================================================
   SCALZ.AI — "Luminous Ether" Design System
   Single stylesheet — owned by the CSS agent. Do not edit other files.

   Architecture:
   - No-JS-first: every word is visible by default. Scroll-reveal hiding only
     happens under `html.js` (a class js/main.js adds). Never opacity:0 default.
   - z-index:0 decorative canvases (aria-hidden); z-index:1 real SEO content.
   - Mobile-first. Breakpoints 768 / 1024 / 1280.
   - prefers-reduced-motion disables all decorative animation.
