   SITE MOTION SYSTEM — motion.css  (brand-agnostic)
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   Load it on every page (order-independent — works before OR after
   the site's own stylesheet). To match the brand, set any of these
   on :root in the SITE'S css; each has a sensible fallback so you
   only override what you want:

     :root{
       --motion-1: 232,168,32;            primary accent  (r,g,b)
       --motion-2: 130,175,225;           secondary accent (r,g,b)
       --motion-accent: #E2A93F;          solid accent: bars/progress
       --motion-accent-2: #F0C46A;        lighter accent
       --motion-ink: #0A2C44;             deep brand color (dark accents)
       --motion-dark-rgb: 13,27,42;       dark brand color "r,g,b" — drives the video scrim
       --motion-nav-bg: rgba(255,255,255,.98);  scrolled-nav background
     }

   The JS (animations.js) reads --motion-1 / --motion-2 for the hero
   canvas. Honors prefers-reduced-motion automatically — the hero
   background video is paused + reset to its poster by animations.js
   (CSS alone cannot stop <video> playback).
