/* ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── chrome.css — the one header, on every page Six pages had six different headers. This is the one, and it keeps the language the home page already spoke: raised pixel buttons with a hard offset shadow, the arcade face for anything that acts like a control. Three things it has to get right, because the first attempt got them wrong: 1. It is the same width everywhere. Pages have content columns from 860 to 1180, and an earlier version made the header follow each one — which made the header itself change between pages: one line here, two lines there, the mark landing somewhere new each time. The header is chrome, not content. One width, one shape, one place for the mark, on all six. 2. It keeps the status line. "The mine is open" is the one thing a first visitor wants to know, and it belongs beside the mark, not in a footer. 3. It has a primary. Every destination as an identical text link is a list, not navigation: THE MINE is where the game is, so it is the filled button and everything else is raised-but-quiet. Only --ember, --line, --panel, --ink and --dim exist on every page, so everything else carries a literal fallback. ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── */ header.sm-head{ /* Pages carry their own `header { display:flex; padding-bottom:16px }` from before this file existed, and a bare element selector still lands on this element.
