       PROXIMITY, deliberately, not mandatory: the beats crossfade from a
       per-frame rAF loop reading scrollY, and mandatory snapping yanks the
       scroll position hard enough to make those fades stutter. Proximity only
       engages near a boundary, so it glides into each beat and leaves free
       scrolling alone.

       scroll-behavior is deliberately NOT set to smooth here. ui.js animates
       its intro by calling window.scrollTo(0, y) once per frame; with smooth
       behaviour each of those frames becomes its own animated scroll and they
       fight each other. Section-to-section gliding already works because the
       chapter buttons pass {behavior:'smooth'} per call. */
