/*
 * UIUX-008 Connect experience, recomposed in UIUX-008R.
 *
 * One design family, four hero archetypes chosen by participant purpose:
 *   split / split-reverse  - copy beside purpose-matched media (Brands, Creators)
 *   centered               - centered proposition over a wide media band (Suppliers, Retailers)
 *   overlay                - image-led hero with a restrained content panel (Farmers)
 *   asymmetric             - proposition beside a structured "at a glance" card (Nutritionists, EXIM)
 * and one participant-specific feature treatment each (matrix, checklist,
 * journey, boundaries, lifecycle, roadmap). Section height is content-driven:
 * no min-heights, no fixed bands, white surfaces with one neutral process band.

/* ---------- hero system (CONNECT-VISUAL-IDENTITY-003) ----------
   One Connect hero family with three controlled variants. The catalog's
   archetype still chooses the purpose (data-composition is unchanged); the
   template maps it to a variant:
     split     - copy beside a 3:2 image (split, split-reverse)
     editorial - image-led: a large framed image with the copy card
                 overlapping its edge (overlay, centered)
     compact   - copy beside a narrow visual column: the image when one
                 exists, then the "At a glance" facts (asymmetric, and any
                 pathway whose image is missing or retired)
   Every variant shares the breadcrumb, kicker, H1, lede and CTA, the
   pathway accent, an 18px image radius and focal-point cropping. Images are
   never stretched past their largest derivative: governed heroes carry a
   1440w source and the frames stay within it. */
