  /*
    Fixed ☰ Menu sits at top 16px and ends near 49px.
    The QA browser computes scroll-margin and scroll-padding and still
    lands the target's border box at y=0, so those offsets never move
    the heading.     Padding is inside the border box: when that edge is at
    the top of the screen, the heading starts 112px down, clear of the button.
    It applies only while the anchor is the hash target.
    Instant fragment scrolling so a smooth animation cannot finish later
    on the unpadded position. Desktop is outside this breakpoint.
