/* REJN-X rework (21 Oct 2026, Reece: "too close to ASM").
   Loaded last. Motion language: crisp and engineered. Clip wipes instead of fade-ups, gold blocks
   that sweep headings line by line, short number decodes, thin gold rules that draw in, a drawn
   wireframe in the hero. Snappy timing, no smooth-scroll, no scrubbing, no pinning, no cursor tricks.
   Everything here that moves is gated on html.motion (motion switch on and no reduced-motion). */
