/* ⭐⭐THE SIDE GUTTER SCALES WITH THE SCREEN, AND THE READING WIDTH DOES NOT.
⛔Owner, 2026-09-01, on an iPad: "no side margins destroys the page appeal. the text is 0 pixel
touching or outside the screen itself. Horrible." He was right and the measurement agrees - the
gutter was a FLAT 20px from 360px all the way to 1180px. A 360px phone and a 1024px iPad got the
same twenty pixels, so the wider the tablet, the more the text looked pasted onto the glass.
⭐--qs-gutter grows with the viewport; CONTENT-MAX is the reading measure and is fixed. Keeping
those two separate is the whole point: max-width has to include the padding (box-sizing is
border-box everywhere here), so a bigger gutter inside a FIXED max-width would have quietly
narrowed every desktop page by 72px while fixing the tablet. The calc() adds the gutter back, so
the text inset at 1440/1920/2560/3840 is byte-identical to what it was before this change -
measured, 170/410/730/1370px - and only 360-1180px moves.
⛔So do not hard-code a number in either declaration. Changing --qs-gutter alone must keep the
desktop measure fixed; that invariant is what ContainerGutterTests holds. */

/* ⛔⛔THE NAV KEEPS ITS LINKS VISIBLE. A BURGER ON A DESKTOP READS AS A BROKEN TOOLBAR.
⚠OWNER, 2026-08-31: "the website toolbar no longer is visible and looks corrupted". He was looking
at a window under 1180px, where an earlier version of this rule swapped the whole link row for a
burger. That FIXED the clipping but it was the wrong trade - it hid the navigation on exactly the
widths a laptop uses, and a lone hamburger on a wide screen looks like a page that failed to load.
⭐SO THE ROW TIGHTENS INSTEAD OF COLLAPSING. Twelve items - eleven links plus Get-a-licence - need
about 1150px at the full 26px gap. Between 901px and 1180px the gap, the type and the brand shrink
by measured amounts so all twelve still FIT ON ONE ROW and stay readable. The burger is for phones
and small tablets, which is what it was always for.
⛔THESE NUMBERS ARE A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ITEM COUNT. Add or remove a nav item and RE-MEASURE them.
NavCollapseBreakpointTests fails the build if the count moves, because the comment that used to say
this was ignored twice - once when Atmos Mix Funding was added on 2026-08-28 and again when News was
added on 2026-08-30, which is what produced a nav that did not fit at all. A comment is not a check. */
