   MANAN SHAH — PORTFOLIO
   Dusk flight world as the HERO, opaque reading sheets for the
   content. Instrument Sans + Serif italics + Inter + Geist Mono.

   Readability contract (2026-10, don't regress):
   the 3D world is a spectacle at the top of the page and a quiet
   texture everywhere below it. Content never floats on live
   water: every text-bearing section sits on `.sheet`, a near
   opaque surface. The canvas itself is dimmed by scroll (see
   `.world-dim` + the opacity ramp in main.js).
