   HERO TRIM (2026-04-21 wave-3-followup)

   pushing the mockup ~212px taller than intended. Fix: position overlay
   absolutely over the host (as originally designed — the static HTML
   mockup is a fallback, the animated PNG is the presentation layer).
   Plus modest padding/row-height trims to reach the 420px target.
   Scoped to body.payroll-services so changes don't leak to other pages

/* ── Hero "Payroll Run" mockup — mobile pass (2026-06-08) ────────────────
   The card was built entirely on ultra-low-opacity whites (.10 surface,
   .06 stat tiles) that only read as a card WHILE backdrop-filter blur
   renders. On mobile Safari that blur frequently degrades, so the card
   collapsed to near-invisible white-on-navy — "blends into the background"
   and "looks different on my phone." Fix: give it a self-contained, mostly
   opaque navy surface + crisper border/shadow so it reads as a distinct
   floating card with OR without backdrop-filter, and tighten the footprint
   (keep the two stat tiles side-by-side instead of stacking, which the
   global 480px rule does — that just made the card taller). */
