/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
     BUDGET CHALLENGE — HOMEPAGE 2026 (v2 redesign)

     Companion to Homepage2026.ascx and Homepage2026.js.

     Visual language matches the sibling Budget layouts:
       - StateStandards2026
       - Sponsor2026
       - Program2026
       - Effectiveness2026

     The .ascx wraps every named pane in <div class="container">, and
     the existing Budget skin sets a max-width on .container. Full-width
     section backgrounds therefore need to live on the OUTER .bc-ss-X
     wrapper (which sits OUTSIDE the container). See the DNN-ONLY block
     at the bottom of this file for those overrides.

     the dividing line.
     Animation cycle: progressive fade-in left → right (each segment hits peak
     in its 5% slice of the cycle), all segments hold peak together briefly,
     then ALL fade out together, then rest gray, then repeat.

/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
     DNN-ONLY full-width section overrides
     ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
     In DNN, the .ascx wraps every named pane in <div class="container">,
     and the existing Budget skin sets a max-width on .container. So a
     full-width background painted on the inner pane content would clip
     at the container edge. Fix: paint the full-width background +
     padding on the OUTER .bc-ss-X section wrapper (which sits OUTSIDE
     the container), and zero out the inner pane's redundant
     background+padding when nested inside the wrapper. These selectors
     don't match in the standalone preview HTML — they only fire under
     DNN where the extra .container is present. Safe to ship in both
     contexts.
