   columns collapsing and stacking into extra rows multiplied the height.

/* ── CTA -> FOOTER SEAM ──
   Two independently-clipped glows matched by color/position still show a
   faint step where they meet (each fades against its own hard clip edge,
   not against the other blob). Real fix: one glow, rendered once, on a
   wrapper spanning both. Both the CTA section and the footer fade their
   own background to transparent right at the seam so this single shared
   layer -- same ink base color underneath everything, so invisible where
   nothing fades -- shows through continuously on both sides. Neither
   pushes content over the other: text/buttons stay on their own opaque
   background for the majority of each section, only the last/first 160px
   dissolves into the shared layer. */
