/* ============================================================
   INTERIOR PAGES
   ============================================================ */

/* ---------- full-bleed page hero ----------
   A photographic alternative to .page-head, for interior pages that have art
   worth the width. This file owns the layout; each page owns its own art,
   declared in a <style> block in that page's <head>:

     .hero-page .hp-bg{background-image:url('assets/venue/a-tall.webp')}
     @media (min-width:768px){ .hero-page .hp-bg{background-image:url('...-wide.webp')} }

   Art has to be set from the page, not from a custom property here — a url()
   inside a var() resolves against THIS stylesheet (/css/), not the document,
   which silently points every path at /css/assets/. Declaring it in the page
   also keeps file:// previews working.

   Art wants a native 2560x1440 source; anything smaller goes soft under the
   veil rather than sharp. Pages with no art of their own use .page-head. */
