   v2.7 — Editorial atmosphere
   A reusable photographic background layer (.ed-bg), a paper grain, oversized
   ghost chapter numbers and softer section seams. The hero is untouched.

   Layering inside a section:
     .ed-bg (clip box)  →  .ed-bg__img (photo: low opacity, soft blur,
     desaturated, masked to one side, extremely slow drift/parallax)
                        →  .ed-bg::after (warm veil + paper grain)
     → section content (containers are position: relative, so they paint above)

   Per-section knobs: --bg-img, --bg-img-m (mobile), --bg-o (opacity),
   --bg-pos, --bg-mask, --bg-veil, --bg-filter.
   Photos load only when the section approaches the viewport (.is-loaded,
   set in main.js), so none of them compete with the hero image.

   The same five library photographs, now clearly visible behind every
   content section. Each photo is pre-processed (assets/img/bg/*.webp):
   softly blurred, lower contrast, slightly desaturated and warmed toward
   cream — so no CSS blur runs on the page and the files are tiny
   (11–20 KB desktop, 6–10 KB mobile). Only the photo layer is blurred;
   text, cards, buttons and navigation are never filtered.
   Readability comes from warm veils placed behind the text columns, while
   the photograph stays open at the edges and in the whitespace.

   v2.9 — Recognisable photo, light frosted blur
   The photographs are no longer pre-blurred (assets/img/bg/*.webp are only
   warm-graded: ~15–20% cream tint, softened contrast, muted saturation).
   A light 4px blur is applied in CSS to the photo layer only — never to text,
   cards or navigation. The photo layer is viewport-sized and sticky at every
   width, so it is shown at ~1:1 scale instead of being stretched across a
   2000px section (the stretching is what made it look like a gradient).
