/* ---------- 14.1 Horizontal-scroll kill switch (mobile-only) -------------
   Two layers of defense:
   (a) ROOT CAUSE: when the mobile drawer is closed it sits with
       position:fixed; right:0; transform:translateX(100%), so layout-wise
       it still occupies the right side of the viewport (375 → 705 on a
       375-wide phone). Move it physically off-screen to the right via
       right:-100vw so it contributes nothing to body.scrollWidth. The
       transition target swaps back to right:0 when .is-open, which still
       gives a smooth slide-in.
   (b) BACKSTOP: overflow-x:clip on html/body so anything still
       overflowing doesn't cause a real horizontal scroll. clip (NOT
       hidden) preserves position:sticky on the header. */
@media (max-width: 980px) {

        overflow-x: clip;
        max-width: 100%;

    .md-body, .md-body p, .md-body li, .md-body a { overflow-wrap: anywhere; word-break: normal; }
    /* The mobile drawer: completely removed from layout when closed.
       position:fixed with transform OR negative right still contributes
       to body.scrollWidth in every browser. The only reliable way to
       prevent that on a 375px viewport is display:none. Slide-in
       animation is sacrificed for a 100% rock-solid no-horizontal-scroll
       guarantee on every device, every browser engine. */

/* ---------- 14.2 Sticky header on mobile — keep it sticky -----------------
   overflow-x:clip on html/body is safe for position:sticky (unlike overflow:
   hidden which kills it). Sticky needs no scrollable ancestor, just visible
   overflow-y. We use overflow-x:clip on the x-axis only — y-axis stays
   visible and sticky keeps working.

   CRITICAL: main.css line 450 has `body.is-drawer-open { overflow: hidden }`
   which kills sticky when the mobile drawer is open. overflow:hidden creates
   a scroll-container at body level and the sticky ancestor chain breaks.
   Override with overflow:clip — same effect (no scrolling) but does NOT
   create a scroll-container, so sticky on .site-header keeps working. */
