/* ============================================================
   IMAGE SECURITY — make content imagery hard to trivially save.
   Layer 1 (already above): img{pointer-events:none;-webkit-user-drag:none}
   stops drag-to-desktop + makes the bitmap untargetable; site.js
   disables right-click/dragstart. Layer 2 (here): a transparent
   ::after overlay sits ON TOP of content images inside their
   relative-positioned wrappers, so even where pointer-events were
   restored for interaction (gallery / door / band photos), a
   right-click or long-press lands on the inert overlay, not the
   <img>. The overlay is fully transparent and below captions, so
   it changes nothing visually and does not block the wrapper link
   (the link sits above the overlay via its own z-index where one
   exists; for whole-card links the .door <a> itself is the wrapper,
   so the overlay covers the image but the click still fires on the
   anchor). NOTE: this is a deterrent, not DRM — a determined user
   with devtools can still reach the asset; robots.txt also blocks
   image-index crawlers (Caroline 6/20).
