   09. NAVBAR — floating pill + letter-Q brand
   ============================================================
   HTML structure (see index.html):
     <header class="navbar">        ← desktop chrome
       …brand, .nav-links-desktop, .nav-status, .nav-cta-desktop, .hamburger
     </header>
     <nav class="nav-menu">         ← mobile panel (SIBLING, not child)
       …ul.nav-links, .nav-status-mobile, .nav-cta
     </nav>
     <div class="nav-overlay">      ← dark backdrop

   Why the panel is a sibling:
     A `transform` / `backdrop-filter` / `filter` / `contain` on an
     ancestor creates a containing block for `position: fixed`
     descendants. If .nav-menu lived inside the navbar (which has
     backdrop-filter), it would anchor to the navbar instead of the
     viewport — breaking its slide-off animation and height.

   Because the panel is now a sibling, the navbar CAN have
   backdrop-filter again. But we still keep it on ::before so
   future edits can't accidentally reintroduce the bug.

   27. RESPONSIVE BREAKPOINTS
   ============================================================
   Ordering: widest → narrowest, so narrower breakpoints override
   wider ones (CSS uses source order for equal specificity).

   Mobile strategy (≤ 768px):
     • Wide-card sections — Services, Featured Projects, Process,
       Why Qoech — become horizontal swipe carousels with snap
       points. The next card peeks in from the right.
     • Compact-item sections — Solutions, Technologies, Values,
       Capabilities — become 2-column dense grids.
     • Vertical list (Other Systems) stays vertical.
     • iOS input zoom is prevented (16px minimum on inputs).
     • Hover-lift effects are disabled to prevent sticky states.
     • JS Section 20 injects `.mobile-carousel-meta` after each
       carousel for the swipe hint + pagination dots.

   Two positioning rules to remember:
     1. The navbar (Section 09) is centered with left/right +
        margin:auto. To resize it, override the left/right insets
        — never set `width`.
     2. The mobile menu panel (Section 10) is a viewport-fixed
        sibling of the navbar. It relies on the navbar NOT
        creating a containing block (no transform, no
        backdrop-filter on the navbar itself — those live on
        .navbar::before instead).
