/* --- Gutters ------------------------------------------------
   Bootstrap's .g-5 sets a 48px row gutter while .container only
   reserves 12px of padding, so those rows spill ~12px past the
   viewport below 576px (hero + about were edge-to-edge and got
   clipped by body{overflow-x:hidden}). Collapse the oversized
