/* CASE · EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT (work/european-parliament/ styles)
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   The cobalt "Briefing" cover (v3) on the body of "The Week" (v2):
   the case page organised as one working week, because the
   product IS a weekly rhythm. Set in the print language of the new
   homepage and About: condensed 76-80% Bricolage, mono labels with a
   12px cobalt square and a hairline to the edge, 0-4px corners,
   objects you could pick up (prints, a planner pad, a ticket, an insert).

     cover    cobalt  rail, the title set to fill the measure, the rule,
                      one sentence, and the cover plate: a print of three
                      vertical clips laid across the edge where the
                      cobalt cover meets the paper page
     01 brief paper   the job in one sentence + the three phases,
                      each tagged with its days (starts under the plate)
     02 week  paper   one example week on a planner sheet: Mon → Thu,
                      one step a day (ideas, your OK, shoot, done). A
                      "with your team" band runs Mon into Tue to the OK,
                      dashed on into Wed. Thursday is the cobalt column
                      with the one big figure, 24 h, stamped "Always.";
                      Fri–Sun stays empty. Phones: a list with a rail.
                      The plenary fast track is a small insert below
     03 out   cobalt  the real 9:16 frames dealt as prints, one clip
                      playing in the tallest; formats to scale
     04 start paper   the €500 test video as a die-cut ticket with a
                      one-week strip printed on it; booking = its stub
     next     ink     the shared next-project band, re-set in print

   The flat nav takes the colour of the field under it (case-ep.js):
   cobalt over the cover and the output field, paper elsewhere.

   Progressive enhancement: the default CSS is the finished page.
   Entrance states live only under html.ep--armed, which a pre-paint
   script adds when motion is allowed (and drops again if case-ep.js
   never runs). Reduced motion never arms. No #bgBlob, no .reveal, no
   scene slates, no timecode, no glows. Every rule is scoped under
   body.case-ep or an ep- class.
