/* ---------- NAV v4 (T38, 10 Oct 2026) ----------
   One block replaces the four earlier nav layers. Same look as Darren's floating bar (NAV v3, 9 Oct 19:44).
   Why it changed: on Darren's Mac the browser text size is set larger (1rem = 20px), so the rem-sized words outgrew the
   px-sized bar and the brand ran into "Scam Alerts". Now the bar, its padding and the switch-over point are all in rem/em,
   so everything grows together; and site.js folds the bar to the Menu button if the brand and menu would ever touch.
   Phones and narrow windows: the Menu button (unchanged). Wide windows: the floating bar, from 78em, with the link pill centred in the bar. */
