 /* Fix: nav is fixed/overlaying, so jumping straight to a section's y=0
 top hid the first ~77px of every section behind it (sliced labels on
 Industries/Services, and Clients landing looking short since its own
 heading sat behind the nav too). scroll-margin-top applies to both
 native anchor jumps and scrollIntoView(), pushing the true landing
 point down so the section's content clears the nav completely.
 --nav-height is measured live from the actual nav element (see script
 near the bottom of the page) because the nav's rendered height differs
 between desktop and the mobile breakpoint (different padding), so a
 single hardcoded pixel value can't be correct at both sizes at once. */

 the photo against that full element height, blowing it up ~3.5x and
