14. MOBILE OVERLAY MENU
   Three things core gets wrong here for this theme:
   1. .ss-header carries a backdrop-filter, which makes it the containing
      block for position:fixed descendants — so the overlay was sized to the
      header rather than the viewport. Below 600px the blur is dropped (it is
      expensive on phones anyway) and the header takes a solid ground.
   2. Core paints the open overlay #fff on #000 at a specificity a single
      class cannot beat, hence the longer selector below.
   3. The block is justified right, which pushed the links off the sheet.
