/* ==========================================================================
   Mobile polish (V2.1.30)
   ==========================================================================
   The base site is already responsive — viewport meta, hamburger nav, 15+
   breakpoints, fluid typography. These rules close the remaining small-screen
   gaps surfaced during a 380px audit:
     1. global horizontal-overflow guard (a single rogue element can't break
        the whole page on a phone)
     2. tighten section padding on phones (5.5rem top/bottom is too much
        vertical scroll on a 5" screen)
     3. let elements with `white-space: nowrap` wrap when the screen is too
        narrow (stats banner, breadcrumbs)
     4. ensure tap targets are ≥44px (Apple HIG / Google Material)
     5. prevent iOS Safari zoom-on-focus by guaranteeing form input font-size
        ≥16px on mobile
     6. break long words / URLs in prose so they can't shoot off the side
