   HERO PARALLAX (compositor-driven)
   ==========================================
   Scroll-linked parallax via CSS scroll-timeline so it runs on the
   compositor, NOT the main thread. This is what fixes the "first screen
   delay": a JS scroll handler (or GSAP scrub) updates a frame after Safari
   has already painted an instant jump-to-top, flashing the hero in its
   scrolled-away state; a scroll-driven animation is evaluated in lockstep
   with the scroll position, so the top of the page is always rendered with
   the hero at its rest transform. Gated by @supports + reduced-motion, so
   unsupported browsers simply get a static (still correct) hero. */
