  THE SNOOGUMS ACADEMY - MAIN STYLESHEET
  File: css/style.css

  HOW CSS WORKS (Quick Lesson):
  CSS is made of "rules". Each rule has:
  1. A SELECTOR  — what element to style (e.g., .navbar, h1, #hero)
  2. A PROPERTY  — what aspect to change (e.g., color, font-size)
  3. A VALUE     — what to set it to (e.g., #D0006F, 24px)

  Example:
  .navbar {           ← selector
    background: red;  ← property: value
    color: white;
  }

  The dot (.) means CLASS selector → targets elements with that class attribute
  The hash (#) means ID selector   → targets element with that specific id
  No prefix means element selector → targets ALL elements of that type (e.g., h1)

/* ============================================================
   CSS CUSTOM PROPERTIES (Variables)
   Think of these like constants in programming.
   We define a colour ONCE here, then use it everywhere.
   If the client wants to change the brand pink, we change it
   in ONE place here — not hunt through 500 lines of code.
   All variables are declared inside :root (the entire page).
   We access them using var(--variable-name).
============================================================ */
:root {
  /* === BRAND COLOURS (from the TSA logo) === */
  --color-pink: #D0006F;           /* Primary brand colour — deep magenta/pink */
  --color-gold: #FFC200;           /* Secondary — warm gold/yellow from the logo */
  --color-purple: #6B0FA8;         /* Accent — deep purple */
  --color-dark: #0D0D1A;           /* Near-black for dark backgrounds */
  --color-dark-2: #1A1A2E;         /* Slightly lighter dark */
  --color-white: #FFFFFF;
  --color-light: #F8F7FF;          /* Very light purple tint for section backgrounds */
  --color-text: #2D2D2D;           /* Main body text colour — not pure black, easier on eyes */
  --color-text-light: #666680;     /* Muted text for subtitles, captions */
  --color-border: #E8E8F0;         /* Subtle border lines */

  /* === GRADIENTS === */
  /* A gradient blends two or more colours together */
  --gradient-pink: linear-gradient(135deg, #D0006F 0%, #6B0FA8 100%);
  --gradient-gold: linear-gradient(135deg, #FFC200 0%, #FF8C00 100%);
  --gradient-dark: linear-gradient(135deg, #0D0D1A 0%, #1A1A2E 100%);

  /* === TYPOGRAPHY (Font settings) === */
  --font-heading: 'Poppins', sans-serif;   /* Bold headings */
  --font-body: 'Nunito', sans-serif;       /* Friendly body text */

  /* === SPACING SYSTEM ===
     We use a consistent spacing scale (multiples of 8px).
     This makes the page feel orderly and professional.
     Instead of random values like 13px or 27px, we stick to the scale. */
  --space-xs: 0.5rem;    /* 8px */
  --space-sm: 1rem;      /* 16px */
  --space-md: 1.5rem;    /* 24px */
  --space-lg: 2rem;      /* 32px */
  --space-xl: 3rem;      /* 48px */
  --space-xxl: 5rem;     /* 80px */

  /* === BORDER RADIUS (rounded corners) === */
  --radius-sm: 8px;
  --radius-md: 16px;
  --radius-lg: 24px;
  --radius-full: 9999px;  /* Makes anything a pill/circle shape */

  /* === SHADOWS === */
  --shadow-sm: 0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08);
  --shadow-md: 0 8px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12);
  --shadow-lg: 0 16px 48px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.16);
  --shadow-pink: 0 8px 32px rgba(208, 0, 111, 0.25);

  /* === TRANSITIONS (animation speed) === */
  /* Used on hover effects — controls how fast the change happens */
  --transition: all 0.3s ease;
  --transition-slow: all 0.6s ease;

  /* === NAVBAR HEIGHT === */
  /* We define this as a variable because multiple elements
     need to know how tall the navbar is (e.g., the hero needs
     padding-top equal to navbar height so content isn't hidden under it) */
  --navbar-height: 80px;
}


/* ============================================================
   CSS RESET / BASE STYLES
   Browsers have their own default styles that differ between
   Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. This "reset" removes those
   defaults so we start from a clean slate everywhere.
============================================================ */

/*
  The asterisk (*) targets EVERY element on the page.
  box-sizing: border-box — this changes how width/height is calculated.
  
  DEFAULT (content-box): width = content only. Padding adds ON TOP.
  So a div with width:200px and padding:20px becomes 240px wide. Surprising!
  
  border-box: width INCLUDES padding and border.
  A div with width:200px and padding:20px stays 200px wide. Makes sense!
  
  This one line prevents so much layout confusion.

   This block of styles ONLY applies when the screen is
   768px wide or SMALLER (tablets and phones).
   
   We write "mobile-last" — desktop styles first,
   then override for smaller screens inside media queries.
   
   Common breakpoints:
   1200px = large desktop
   992px  = small desktop / large tablet
   768px  = tablet
   480px  = mobile

      On mobile, the nav becomes a full-width dropdown panel
      that sits directly below the navbar.

      THE BUG WE'RE FIXING:
      Previously, this element was only hidden using
      transform: translateY(-110%). A transform MOVES an element
      visually, but the element is still technically "in flow" —
      still occupying space, still part of the accessibility tree,
      and on some browsers/zoom levels the rounded -110% offset
      doesn't fully clear the element's own height, so a sliver
      of it remains visible at the very top of the screen.

      THE FIX — we now hide it with THREE properties working together:
      1. visibility: hidden  → makes it fully invisible AND removes it
         from the tab order / screen readers (better accessibility too)
      2. opacity: 0          → fades it out, smoothing the transition
      3. pointer-events: none → so it can't be accidentally clicked/tapped
         while it's supposed to be closed
      Combined with the transform, there is now NO way for any part
      of this menu to be visible or interactive while closed.
