/* ========== plan layer (zones, grid patches, crosshairs, giant numerals, edge strip, junction), added 31 Oct 2026 ==========
   The site plan under the site: large faint tonal zones with one 45° chamfer and an arc, a cross grid on
   the right third of the second section, a [ + ] crosshair with a letter on the predicted impact
   site, a giant section numeral, the wordmark running down the page edge, and the emblem at the junction
   of the two factions. site.js injects the elements (<i class="deco zone|gridfield|xhair|numeral">, .edge,
   .junction); without JS the page is simply calmer.
   Every .section is positioned so its decoration stays inside it (fixed 3 Nov 2026: unpositioned
   sections let their zones, numerals and grids fall through to the first screen, onto the hero). */
