/* ═══ SCROLL FLICKER / REPAINT STABILITY ═══

   ROOT CAUSES ADDRESSED:
   1. body::before grain overlay — fixed + z-index:9999 + SVG filter causes a
      full-page repaint layer on every scroll tick in Chrome. Promoted to its
      own GPU layer via will-change so Chrome composites it separately.
   2. backdrop-filter elements — every card that uses backdrop-filter:blur()
      triggers a repaint of everything behind it during scroll. Containment
      (contain:paint) limits each blur to its own stacking context.
   3. Infinite looping animations (gradShift, wavePulse, bob,
      capitalismPulse, creditismPulse) — if the animated element shares a
      layer with scrolled content, Chrome repaints on every animation frame.
      translateZ(0) forces each onto its own composited layer.
   4. will-change: opacity,transform on ALL 13 .reveal elements simultaneously
      — that's 13 composited layers sitting in GPU memory at once even for
      sections already visible. Fixed: only set will-change while transitioning;
      cleared immediately after (handled in JS below via classList timing).
   5. The wave-path drop-shadow filter — CSS filter on an SVG path inside a
      scrolled element forces a repaint subtree. Isolated with contain:paint.
   6. .h-glow filter:blur on a large element — already inside .hero which has
      overflow:hidden, but without isolation Chrome may repaint it during scroll
      as it leaves the viewport. Added isolation:isolate to .hero.
