   MOBILE COMPACT-HEADER FIX
   On phones (≤860px) the hamburger lives inside .header-main.
   Compact mode collapses .header-main to height:0 which hides
   the hamburger — making it impossible to open the nav once
   the user has scrolled. Fix: keep .header-main visible on
   mobile even in compact mode. The dark nav bar that anchors
   the desktop compact view doesn't exist on mobile, so the
   masthead IS the anchor.
