/**
 * ARC Creative Co. — theme styles
 *
 * Design direction (from the approved build document):
 *   Established national performance-marketing company with modern operating
 *   discipline. Confident whitespace, strong grid, modular proof sections,
 *   documentary case-study visuals, clear conversion paths.
 *   Avoid: generic stock photography, neon effects, over-animation, clutter.
 *
 * Colour contract — this is the part that is easy to get wrong:
 *   --primary       #FF1062  the exact brand pink. 3.63:1 on warm white, so it
 *                            is used ONLY for large display type, accents,
 *                            active states, data highlights, icons and rules.
 *                            It is AA-valid for normal text on the dark canvas
 *                            (5.05:1) — that is the one place it may set copy.
 *   --primary-ink   #C80047  5.63:1 on warm white. Links, small text, and any
 *                            button that puts white on pink (5.92:1).
 *
 * Do not "simplify" these into one token. #FF1062 on white for body text fails
 * WCAG AA, and white-on-#FF1062 buttons fail at 3.82:1. The split is the fix.

/* ------------------------------------------- mega menu: hover bridge */

/*
 * The panel is anchored to the HEADER (top:100%), not to the menu item — that
 * is what makes it full-width. The side effect: the item's bottom edge and the
 * panel's top edge are ~42px apart, and that gap is dead. Moving the cursor
 * from "Services" down into the panel crosses it, hover is lost, and the panel
 * shuts before you can click anything. The menu looked finished and was unusable.
 *
 * Two fixes, both needed:
 *
 * 1. BRIDGE — extend the item's hover box down to the header's bottom edge with
 *    padding, and cancel the layout effect with an equal negative margin. The
 *    item stays visually the same size; its hover area now reaches the panel, so
 *    there is no gap to fall through.
 *
 * 2. CLOSE DELAY — hold the panel open briefly after hover ends, so a cursor
 *    that clips a corner on the way down does not lose it. Opening stays
 *    instant; only closing is forgiving. Anything above ~250ms starts feeling
 *    like the menu is stuck.
