/* ==========================================================================
   CAREERS  -  full page rebuild
   Section architecture follows the reference the client supplied
   (credenceinnovations.org/careers): hero with a stamp badge, a three-card
   "what the job includes" band on a drawn route, a numbered benefits ledger
   with a sticky rail and a progress meter, an open-roles grid, a clips row,
   and an FAQ.

   MOBILE FIRST throughout. The client's site is opened on a phone far more
   than on a desktop, so the default rules below ARE the phone layout and the
   min-width queries add the desktop composition on top. Nothing here is a
   desktop layout patched down.

   IMAGES ARE PLACEHOLDERS ON PURPOSE. Every .ph block is a labelled, ratio-
   locked box with no <img> behind it - requested, and it also means the page
   cannot ship a stock photograph by accident. Dropping a real image in is one
   <img> inside the .ph; the box already owns the ratio, the radius and the
   border.

/* THE ROW REVEAL NEVER HIDES THE ROW.
   An earlier version used clip-path: inset(0 0 100% 0) as the from-state.
   That deadlocks: Chromium counts the target's own clip in intersectionRatio,
   so a fully-clipped row reports 0 and the site observer (threshold 0.12)
   can never fire the class that would un-clip it. The section rendered empty.

   So the row itself is always fully painted and readable. What animates is
   the RULE above it - a gold line that draws left-to-right as the row
   arrives - and a small settle on the text. If the observer never fires,
   the reader loses a line animation and loses no content. */

   The lift is a transform, so it costs no layout and cannot push the rows
