/* ── Sticky in-page section rail — docked sub-nav band ──
   Previously a centered floating pill: translucent, fit-content width, with
   whatever body copy happened to be underneath it as you scrolled past the
   first section — a real visual collision, not fixed by hiding it on
   scroll-down alone (that only reduces how *often* it's visible, not
   *where* it sits when visible). Now it's permanent page chrome instead: a
   full-width band flush under .nav, same frosted material as .nav-inner's
   scrolled state, so there's nothing for body text to collide with — it
   reads as an intentional second tier of chrome, the same way body copy is
   expected to disappear under the fixed nav, not as a stray object parked
   mid-paragraph. Still hides on scroll-down / reveals on scroll-up in
   tandem with .nav, purely for reading room now, not to mask the defect. */
