   raised to 1150 at (max-width: 991px) — so on mobile the header painted over
   the lightbox and buried its Close button. 1200 clears every header layer
   (1150 header, 1140 inner, 1120 nav panel, 1100 nav scrim).
   The `body` prefix is required, not decorative: the CDN fancybox.css is

   the cascade on equal specificity.
