/* =====================================================================
   SBR INNOVATIVE
   Motion contract — JS writes only these custom properties:
     --p          hero pin progress (0 → 1), eased
     --mx / --my  pointer parallax (-1 → 1)
     --sp         page scroll fraction (0 → 1)
     --py         per-element parallax, on [data-speed]
     --d          card depth in the testimonial deck
     --travel     scroll distance of a portfolio screenshot, in px
     --mgx/--mgy  magnetic button offset
     --rx/--ry    service card tilt

   PERFORMANCE RULE: anything driven by --p must never carry a CSS
   transition, and must never change layout. Scroll-driven values use
   clip-path / transform / opacity only. Pointer-driven values live on
   separate wrapper elements so their easing can't fight the scroll.
