/* ============================================================
   CATBACK ticker — the live status strip along the very bottom.

   Hardware chrome: an --ink-2 rail with a 2px --forest-2 top
   border, VT323 terminal-green text, "◆" separators, a blinking
   status LED at the far left and a thin cyan head pixel leading
   each pass of the scroll. All colors/fonts from tokens.css.

   The bar itself never traps clicks (pointer-events:none); only
   .ticker-viewport re-enables pointer events for hover-pause.
   Height is exactly var(--ticker-h) so the audio toggle (which
   offsets by --ticker-h in base.css) always clears it.
