/* =========================================================
   VERTICAL WORLD: Podcasts ("Broadcast Console")
   A dark, tactile mixing-desk world. Studio-black chassis +
   signal-amber (HOST) and live-teal (GUEST) split tracks +
   Space Grotesk silkscreen headlines. Scoped entirely under
   [data-vertical="podcasts"] so overriding the design tokens
   re-skins the shared header/footer/components automatically,
   and bespoke console sections layer on top.

   Discipline (per riskNotes + _mustFix):
   - Glow is reserved for genuinely live/interactive elements
     (CTA, REC dot, active channel), never a neon wash.
   - Peak-red is used ONLY for the REC dot and true clip/peak
     markers, never decoration.
   - Amber vs teal are ALWAYS paired with HOST/GUEST text labels
     so the split reads without relying on colour alone.
   - ONE hero interaction: the split-track channel switch
     (pure CSS :checked). Everything else is simple .reveal
     scroll-ins. No new JS.
