   Logo clipping fix (header only) - gregloucks.blog

   CAUSE
   1. template.css: `#sp-header .logo { height: 80px }` - a fixed box.
   2. Helix injects, inline from the logo-height template param:
        .logo-image { height: 120px; }
      A 120px image centred in an 80px box overflows 20px above and below,
      and the overflow is painted over at the section boundary - so the
      globe, sun and mountain peaks were sliced off the top.
   3. LOGO.png is 2172x724 (aspect 3.0) and trims to 2161x693 at +0+31:
      it carries 31px of transparent padding at the TOP and none at the
      BOTTOM, so the two edges need different treatment. At 92px rendered
      height that padding is worth only ~4px, which is why the clearance
      below has to come from CSS rather than from the artwork.

   FIX
   Constrain the IMAGE (max-height + height:auto, ratio preserved) instead
   of pinning the BOX, pad the box, and let the row set the header height.
   Navigation, colours and branding are untouched.

   The strip at the top is BLACK, on the home page too - gregloucks.blog

   CAUSE OF THE WHITE BAND
   preset6.css sets `#sp-header { background: rgba(0,0,0,0) }`, and the
   black background further up this file is scoped to `body:not(.home)`.
   So every inner page had a black header and the HOME page had a
   transparent one - which, because the header is `position: relative` and
   therefore occupies its own space, painted as a tall white band above the
   slider rather than as nothing.

   FIX
   One background for every page, and the strip made narrow: the header is
   72px instead of 132px (see --glb-header-h above). The logo is SCALED to
   fit it, not cropped - the clipping fix above still governs, so max-height
   plus height:auto keeps the full artwork with its ratio intact.

   Solid black rather than the rgba(0,0,0,.85) used for the sticky state:
   translucent over a photographic slider is what made the top of the page
   look accidental in the first place.
   ===================================================================== */
#sp-header,
body:not(.home) #sp-header {
    background: #000;

/* The sticky state keeps its slight transparency - there it reads as the
   page moving underneath, which is the point of it. */

   gregloucks.blog its black text on a near black background".

   #sp-bottom on this template is rgb(27,28,30). Every Articles Plus module
   placed there paints the ink it would use on a light card - rgb(26,32,44) -
   so the headings measured 1.05:1 and the blog-sample titles 3.25:1. The
   subscribe form has the inverse fault: its own fieldset is rgb(246,247,249)
   with white labels, 1.07:1.

   Measured with a text-contrast walker over every text node on /en/ and
   /en/about: 101 and 99 unreadable nodes respectively, in 11 and 14 kinds.

   The fix is the one the component CSS already assumes: give these panels the
   light card they were drawn for, rather than restating every colour inside
   them.
