   APEX HEADER ENTRANCE ANIMATION (patch-351)
   Slide-down on page load. Keyframe end state equals the natural
   state (translateY(0)) and fill mode is non-persisting, so the
   computed transform returns to `none` after the animation —
   the header must NOT remain a containing block for its
   fixed-position descendants (.mobile-menu). Fullpage variant
   excluded: it contains the fixed .fullpage-nav__overlay.

   LIGHT MODE — LOCATION GRID (patch-352)
   Closes the patch-330 Tier-3 sweep gap: .location-grid-section
   paints its own dark background (--clr-ink) and was never
   lifted for .theme-mode--light. Section = Tier-1 recipe
   (6% gold wash + ink text); cards = Tier-2 recipe (white card,
   1px ink-tinted border, gold-tinted hover lift, 2px gold top
   accent preserved). Generic span/a sweep intentionally omitted:
   card text nodes are divs, and an a:not(.btn) sweep would
   outrank the gold link rules below (0,3,1 vs 0,2,1).
