/* ---------- HEADER ----------
     Overrides the base theme's .header (white 80px bar, box-shadow, line-height
     dividers) with a transparent-over-hero treatment that solidifies using the
     SAME .shrinked hook the base theme already applies at 1025px+. Class names
     (.header, .shrinked, .logo, .menu, .menu-icon, .navicon, .menu-btn) match
     the base CSS/theme markup so the WP menu walker + existing toggle logic
     can be reused as-is; only the cosmetic rules are overridden here.

     COMPATIBILITY OVERRIDES (this sub-block only) — base.less uses a few
     selectors more specific than their equivalents below (".header
     .logo-img" beats a bare ".brand-logo", etc.), and one — the white
     menu background — I'd missed until now. Same selectors as base, so
     normal cascade order (this file loads after base) resolves it. */

/* ============================================================
     Everything below targets NATIVE WPBakery element markup
     (vc_row / vc_column / vc_column_text / vc_btn / vc_single_image /
     vc_row_inner / vc_column_inner / vc_toggle), via the "Extra class
     name" field set on each element in the builder — never a custom
     template. Class names on el_class land on WPBakery's own wrapper
     divs (.vc_row, .vc_column_container, etc.), so most rules below
     are written as descendant selectors from that class rather than
     assuming a specific custom tag. If your WPBakery version nests
     things slightly differently, inspect the live markup and adjust
     the one or two affected selectors — the class names you set in
     the builder stay the same either way.
