 * newcouponshub-overrides.css
 * Sits on top of the Inotek template's style.css.
 *
 * Palette note: the template ships blue-on-white by default
 * (--theme-color #1053f3, --theme-color3 dark navy #061153). That IS the
 * blue/white brief, so we do NOT repaint its sections. Dark sections here are
 * dark *navy blue*, not the old teal-green theme, and they carry background
 * images designed for white text — repainting them white would make the text
 * unreadable. We only add the components the template lacks.
 *
 * 1. Bespoke coupon-card / coupon-popup / stores-ticker components
 *    (a coupon site needs them, an agency template doesn't).
 * 2. Ported utilities: search dropdown, copy toast, skip link, cookie bar.
 * 3. Admin brand/accent colour pickers mapped onto the template's variables.

/* ---------- 0. Layout-shift guard ------------------------------------------
 * webp_picture() now emits intrinsic width/height on every image so the browser
 * can reserve the right box before the bytes arrive (Cumulative Layout Shift).
 *
 * The template's global rule is `img { max-width: 100% }` with no height, so an
 * image whose width gets clamped would keep its full attribute height and
 * render stretched. height:auto turns the attributes back into a pure
 * aspect-ratio hint.
 *
 * :where() is deliberate — it contributes ZERO specificity, so this stays at
 * 0,0,1 (the same as a bare `img`). Every component that sets its own height
 * (.nch-hs__bg{height:100%}, avatars, logo boxes) still wins. Written as
 * img[width][height] it would be 0,2,1 and would have overridden all of them.

/* ── FIX: absolutely-positioned children of flex containers ─────────────────
   `.nch-hs`, `.nch-row` and `.newsletter` are all `display:flex` with
   `align-items:center`. Per the CSS Box Alignment spec, alignment still
   applies to an absolutely-positioned flex child, so a box with `inset:0` but
   `height:auto` gets shrink-to-fit + centred instead of stretched. For an
   EMPTY element (a colour overlay, or a .bg wrapper) that means zero height —
   it renders but is invisible. The background <img> inside them escaped this
   only because it carries explicit width/height:100%.
   Giving these boxes explicit dimensions + align-self:stretch fixes it. */
