   14. Motion
   Modern CSS, layered on as progressive enhancement:
   - Every effect is inside `prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference`, and the
     reduce rule in section 3 switches off anything left over.
   - Browsers without a feature (e.g. scroll-driven animations in Firefox)
     simply show the finished, static state. Nothing is hidden without support.
   - Only transform/opacity/translate/scale animate on scroll (GPU-friendly).
   Techniques: cross-document View Transitions, scroll-driven animations
   (scroll() and view() timelines), @property-animated gradients, @starting-style
   entry transitions with transition-behavior: allow-discrete, :has(), and
   pointer-tracked custom properties (set by site.js).
