/* ── reel-declutter ROOT FIX (LEDGER: /news VIDEOS reel top-chrome collision) ──
   .nw-feed-tabs / .nw-reel-bar are position:fixed viewport overlays in mobile
   reel mode (below), but they're DOM descendants of .card.sn--c_feed, the
   giant article that wraps the whole feed. core.css ships a sitewide
   `.card:hover { transform: translateY(-2px); ... }` lift. On mobile Chrome/
   Safari, :hover STICKS after a tap until the next tap elsewhere — so tapping
   the VIDEOS tab itself (inside this same .card) armed a non-`none` transform
   on the ancestor, which establishes a NEW CSS containing block for every
   position:fixed descendant. Result: the "viewport-fixed, full-bleed" header
   chrome silently re-anchored to the transformed, narrower in-flow card
   instead of the true viewport — stacking the tabs/filters at the wrong
   coordinates on top of the video and (during the reflow) the caption/video
   text underneath, i.e. Brock's "three layers of text colliding." Unlayered
   (loads last) so it beats the @layer components rule regardless of a sticky
   :hover anywhere on this card. The generic lift was never a considered
   interaction for a page-level structural wrapper anyway — cut it here. */

/* ── news-nav-ia: list-mode tab bar — ALWAYS VISIBLE on mobile ──
   Brock: "confusing and hidden" — the FOR YOU/ALL/VIDEOS switcher used to
   live inside the feed card and scroll away with the hero on the first
   swipe. Benchmarked against ESPN/Apple News/YouTube: the segmented control
   should be reachable no matter how far down the feed you've scrolled.

   position:sticky was the first attempt and doesn't work here: this site
   ships `html,body { overflow-x: hidden }` (core.css, sitewide, presumably
   an iOS elastic-bounce guard). Per the CSS Overflow spec, when one axis is
   non-visible the OTHER axis's computed value gets force-promoted from
   visible to auto — so body's overflow-y computes to `auto` sitewide even
   though no rule sets it directly. That makes <body> (not <html>, which is
   the element that actually scrolls here) the nearest CSS "scroll
   container" ancestor for any sticky descendant, and since body itself
   never scrolls, every sticky child is a silent no-op. Confirmed this is
   NOT news-specific: the pre-existing `.sb-filterbar` sticky pattern used
   on /scores has the exact same bug (verified live). Fixing it at the root
   means loosening body's overflow-x sitewide, which risks reintroducing the
   iOS bounce it was guarding against — too big a blast radius for a
   navigation-IA fix on one route, so it's called out below as a follow-up
   rather than patched here.
   position:fixed sidesteps the whole problem (fixed positioning ignores
   scroll-container ancestry, only ancestor transform/filter/perspective
   breaks it, and .card.sn--c_feed's transform is already neutralized
   above). It's also the SAME technique the reel header already ships two
   blocks down — this just extends it to list mode. `top: 56px` starts the
   bar right below the existing mobile burger button's reserved 56px zone
   (.mob-nav-burger, core.css: top:12px + 44px tall) so the two never
   overlap; `.content`'s padding-top is bumped by the same amount so the
   hero doesn't render underneath the now out-of-flow bar.
   Desktop (>880px) is intentionally left in normal flow, not fixed —
   mirroring the reel header's own desktop behavior (comment below: "never
   position:fixed... the collision this branch fixes is a mobile
   fixed-overlay bug only"). A correct desktop-fixed version needs
   `left: var(--sidebar-w)` sidebar-offset math this task didn't need to
   take on; flagged as a judgment call in the handoff. */
