/* ===========================================================
   Teacher A's House of Learning — Laoag City Branch
   MOTION + DEPTH LAYER        added 2026-09-19 · 3D pass same day

   Purely additive. styles.css owns the palette and the layout;
   nothing here changes either. If this file fails to load the
   page still renders exactly as it did before.

   The vocabulary is taken from the client's OWN artwork — the
   teacher cards and the Kids-in-Action collages are built from
   soft organic blobs in cream / sage / gold / soft blue, with
   hand-drawn hearts and leaves. So the site moves the same way:
   slow, warm, rounded. Nothing snaps, nothing flashes.

   THE 3D MODEL (§15 onward). Two transforms per element, kept on
   two different nodes on purpose:
     · the OUTER node owns the scroll entrance and is transitioned
     · the INNER node owns continuous parallax and pointer tilt and
       is written every frame, so it must NOT be transitioned
   Putting both on one node makes every rAF write fight a running
   transition and the card judders. Keep them apart.

   Every effect below is switched off wholesale by the
   prefers-reduced-motion block at the foot of the file.

   10. KIDS IN ACTION — the 3D photo wall
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   ⚠️ This was a CSS multi-column masonry and it had to change.
   Columns re-fragment every time a lazily-loaded image lands, so
   tiles kept jumping between columns mid-scroll, which in turn
   made Chrome re-evaluate lazy-loading and paint alt text in the
   gap. That is the "images appear and disappear" bug.

   The fix is a plain grid where EVERY tile's height is known
   before a single byte of image arrives: each figure carries an
   inline `--ar` (its true aspect ratio) and the media box uses it.
   Nothing reflows, so nothing thrashes. Keep it that way — do not
   put `columns` back, and do not drop the inline --ar.
