* The hero background island. Layers:
*
* 1. A CSS-driven mesh-gradient layer (always on, GPU-friendly, animated via
* the `animate-gradient-shift` keyframes in global.css). Tuned to the
* night-sky palette: midnight indigo with violet + gold nebular edges.
* 2. A faint static SVG ornament layer (astrolabe + sacred geometry) baked
* in as absolutely-positioned decorations for esoteric texture.
* 3. An optional lightweight <canvas> star field: dozens of twinkling stars
* with thin constellation lines drawn between near neighbors, plus the
* occasional slow shooting-star streak. We render at devicePixelRatio and
* cap the count for perf. It pauses when off-screen and is fully skipped
* when prefers-reduced-motion is set.
* 1. A CSS-driven night-sky gradient (deep blue, darker at top → lighter near
* horizon) plus a diagonal Milky Way galaxy band and teal/violet nebula
* clouds. GPU-friendly, animated via `animate-gradient-shift` keyframes.
* 2. A faint static SVG ornament layer (astrolabe + sacred geometry) for
* esoteric texture.
* 3. An optional <canvas> star field: a dense field of slowly-twinkling stars
* with thin constellation lines between near neighbors, plus the occasional
* shooting star. The WHOLE field rotates together very slowly around the
* field center — reading as a slice of sky turning as the planet rotates.
* We render at devicePixelRatio and cap the count for perf. It pauses when
* off-screen and is fully skipped when prefers-reduced-motion is set.
*
* The component is presentational only; it reads CSS variables for colors so it
* adapts to the section surface tone automatically.
