   CAREER TIMELINE
   Default (no JS, mobile, or prefers-reduced-motion): a plain
   horizontally-swipeable strip — accessible and functional with
   zero JS. script.js progressively enhances it on desktop by
   adding .career-pinned, which inflates the section height and
   makes .career-pin position:sticky so normal vertical scroll
   drives a translateX() on .career-track until it's exhausted,
   then scroll continues past the section as usual. No wheel-event
   hijacking — it rides the browser's real scroll, so trackpad
   momentum, keyboard paging and screen readers all keep working.
