/* SECTIONS
   Every section carries one rhythm unit of air per edge. Padding never collapses,

   ~295px once inner margins piled on) — the void the eye reads as a broken page.
   Boundaries are now composed instead of accumulated:
     continuous background -> 1 unit   (follower spends nothing; sender pays)
     across a colour edge  -> 1.5      (the band always keeps its own full unit,
                                        since that space lives inside the colour;
                                        its neighbour pays a half)

   back behind bare body text with a soft, feathered white layer that sits ABOVE
   the fixed canvas but BELOW the glyphs. Feathered edges let the mesh return in
   the gutters/whitespace (where it reads like the reference plexus); only the
   reading zones calm down. Targets bare-prose-on-white only — cards & .why cover
   the mesh already. Static; pointer-events:none. Each target isolates so its
   z-index:-1 pseudo stays local (above the canvas, under its own text).
