   the summary box's own bullet dot rendered next to a leftover native disc
   marker, the TOC's hand-typed "1. …"/"2. …" numbers doubled up with a
   native <ol> counter, its heading and section headings both ended up
   sized like the big page headings, and the TOC links picked up an

/* ---------- scroll-reveal / animation hooks ---------- */
/* Visible by default so content never gets stuck hidden if main.js fails
   to load or run at all. .js-animate is now added by a tiny inline script
   in each page's <head> (see build.py / the HTML head, right before the
   stylesheet) instead of by main.js itself — main.js only loads at the very
   end of the page, after two external GSAP CDN scripts, so toggling this
   class from there meant the page painted fully visible first and then
   *snapped* invisible the moment those scripts finally finished loading,
   right before GSAP faded it back in. That visible-then-hidden-then-fade
   snap was the "jerky page load" bug. Doing it inline in <head> means the
   hidden state is there from the very first paint, so GSAP's fade-in below
   is the only motion the user ever sees. If main.js never finishes
   initializing (blocked, 404, a script error upstream), the inline script's
   own short timeout removes this class again so content just stays
   visible, rather than being stuck hidden forever — see the head script
   and window.__vettaReady in main.js. */
