/* =====================================================================
   Animated nav header polish (desktop only, >=992px so the Webflow mobile
   hamburger menu is untouched). Effects:
     1. A slow green->blue sheen that travels across a thin top accent line.
     2. A scroll-aware bar: subtly more opaque + softer shadow + a small
        height shrink once the page is scrolled (toggled by .is-scrolled via a
        tiny dependency-free script inside the nav). The bar is position:fixed
        so the shrink causes no layout shift.
     3. A gradient underline that sweeps in under nav links on hover.
     4. A soft shine sweep across the "Get a quote" pill on hover.
     5. A gentle logo lift on hover.
   GPU-friendly (transform/opacity); all non-essential motion is disabled
   under prefers-reduced-motion.
