   why the dark .topbar sits AFTER the header in the markup: it scrolls away underneath.
   Two more things here exist to stop mobile browsers painting the bar half drawn, which
   is what kept cutting the logo in two mid-scroll. Both were tried and kept:
     - A solid background, NO backdrop-filter. The blur snapshot goes stale and the page
       behind shows through the top of the bar. To bring the frosted look back, restore
       the rgba() background plus backdrop-filter: blur(14px) saturate(1.6) — the
       artifact comes back with it.
     - translateZ(0), so the bar is composited as one piece rather than in tiles.
   body's matching padding-top is right below, and the two must stay in step. */
