   TOUCH DEVICE OVERRIDE — critical
   On iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and any device without a mouse cursor,
   the cursor-following spotlight effect makes no sense (no cursor) and
   the background-clip:text + transparent fill technique causes the
   text to render as completely invisible white space because the
   --mx/--my CSS vars never get set by mousemove. Disable the entire
   spotlight effect on touch devices and fall back to solid base colors.

   Two activation paths (belt-and-suspenders):
   1. CSS @media (hover: none), (pointer: coarse) — fires on iOS/Android
   2. html.is-touch — set by script.js as a JS-side fallback in case
      a browser quirk skips the media query
