/* ---------- II · 4 · Origin Route (M27 variant) ----------
   Desktop: place labels over their stretch, stops on one horizontal line (text above, dot on the line), the larger
   end node on a midnight card, a dashed branch hanging below for the methodology and corporate method.
   Phones/tablets: vertical route on the left edge, place labels as dividers. Not pinned.
   Choreography keys off .is-in (core.js, removed after data-reveal-hold): the line draws Toronto → Sofia
   (--draw), each dot pops as the line reaches it (--k = position 0…1), text rises 18px, the end node blooms
   last with its Seal, then the branch fades in. Default CSS = the finished state (reduced motion, no JS, motion off). */
