/* =============================================================
   INDEX.CSS  —  Animaze Graphic  (Homepage)
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   index.html loads THREE stylesheets:
     - menu.css    (header/nav, loaded from menu.html)
     - footer.css  (footer + floating WhatsApp button)
     - index.css   (this file — everything else)
   base.css and inner.css are NOT loaded any more — everything
   they contributed here (tokens, reset, buttons, etc.) now lives
   in this file.

   Structure of this file:
     1. TOKENS            – colors, fonts, and the unified type
                             scale (--u-heading / --u-subheading /
                             --u-copy) used by every section below.
     2. RESET              – base html/body/heading/paragraph rules.
     3. SHARED HELPERS      – .wrap, .sect, .lead, .eyebrow,
                              .sect-head, .reveal.
     4. HOMEPAGE SECTIONS   – hero, about, why-sync, services,
                              clients, testimonials, faq (unchanged
                              structure, now using the tokens above
                              for consistent heading / subheading /
                              paragraph sizing and tighter padding).
     5. MOBILE APP POLISH   – tighter phone spacing + native-app
                              feel (safe-area, no bounce, no tap
                              flash, bigger tap targets).
