/* ============================================================
   God's Church — Landing Page (v7 / Arena · Clean Ticker)
   ============================================================
   The landing page IS the game. Hero is a playable demo question.
   Below: live arena ticker, tier journey, scripture, FAQ teaser.

   v7 CHANGES:
   - Ticker fully rebuilt from scratch (cleanly this time). Match
     the dashboard's .dash-ticker look exactly:
       • Section becomes a bordered card with overflow:hidden
       • .ticker-label is the card header (live dot + label, with
         right-aligned slot for future "X in battle" count)
       • .ticker-track is the scrolling marquee inside
       • Edge-fade pseudos confined to the track area only
     The v6 attempt had leftover experimental rules that
     accidentally killed the horizontal scroll (items stacked
     vertically). Wiped them clean.

   v5–v6 CHANGES (preserved):
   - Sun rays: sharper, longer, two-layer with mask fade
   - Mobile-friendly arena
