/* ==============================================================================
 * HEADER BLOCK: "Question Before Making It"
 * ==============================================================================
 * WHAT THIS FILE DOES:
 *   Provides the complete styling, atmospheric lighting, background video container,
 *   glassmorphic cards, typography, and responsive rules for the primary Hero section
 *   of the ProAffiliaters marketing website (`app/page.tsx`).
 *
 * WHY THIS FILE EXISTS:
 *   The Hero section is the highest-leverage conversion viewport on proaffiliaters.com.
 *   It showcases the automated digital ecosystem through a high-definition background
 *   video (`/videos/hero-bg.mp4`), vibrant ambient glows, official brand gradients
 *   (#4f6ef7 electric blue to #7c3aed violet), conversion-focused CTAs, and live
 *   social proof stats.
 *
 * WHAT MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY IT HANDLES:
 *   - Video Background: Positions the MP4 seamlessly with full-viewport coverage,
 *     rendering 100% natural, vibrant original video colors with zero foggy overlays.
 *   - Atmospheric Glows & Dot Grid: Renders radial blur orbs and dot-matrix patterns.
 *   - Centered Hero Typography: Styles the "#1 Affiliate Platform in India" crown badge,
 *     responsive clamp() headline with SVG underline swoosh, and value description.
 *   - Conversion Action Triggers: Primary gradient pill CTA and secondary glassmorphic demo button.
 *   - Floating Stats Card: Frosted-glass backdrop-filtered pill displaying key trust metrics.
 *   - Responsive Adaptability: Fluid scaling down to mobile viewports (<=640px).
 *
 * HOW IT FITS INTO THE OVERALL MARKETING WEBSITE:
 *   Loaded globally in `app/layout.tsx` (`/css/hero.css`), directly styling the Hero
 *   viewport in `app/page.tsx`.

   FOOTER BLOCK: "Answer in the End"
   ==============================================================================
   MAIN WORKFLOW & EXECUTION STEPS:
     1. Video Layer: Background loop plays automatically (`hero-bg.mp4`), muted and centered.
     2. Contrast Balancing: Luminous radial + linear overlay (.hero-video-overlay) ensures
        WCAG AA compliance for black text and primary CTA buttons.
     3. Ambient Atmosphere: Colored blur halos (.hero-glow-right, .hero-glow-left) and
        radial dot matrix (.hero-dot-grid) provide depth.
     4. Responsive Layout: Centered column (.hero-center-column) scales seamlessly across
        desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

   KEY CSS CLASSES & PARAMETERS:
     - .hero-section: Viewport flex container with minimum height calc(100vh - 68px).
     - .hero-bg-video: Hardware-accelerated object-fit cover video element.
     - .btn-primary-cta: High-converting pill button with signature 135deg gradient and elevation shadow.
     - .hero-stats-row: Glassmorphism pill with backdrop-filter: blur(16px).

   DEPENDENCIES & INTEGRATIONS:
     - Dependent on font tokens: 'Plus Jakarta Sans', 'DM Sans', and FontAwesome 6 icons.
     - Linked via `app/layout.tsx` (`/css/hero.css`).

   CRITICAL CAVEATS & BUG PREVENTION:
     - Maintain pointer-events: none on video, overlay, glow, and dot grids so clicks pass
       cleanly through to CTAs and navigation items.
     - Ensure fallback poster image (/images/video-frame.jpg) is referenced to prevent
       blank space on low-bandwidth mobile connections.
