MOB-05: With the bottom tab bar's Compare badge now showing the
selected count and providing one-tap navigation to /compare, the
floating toast becomes redundant chrome on phones — it cost ~70px
of permanent vertical space and visually competed with the tab bar
right above it. Hide at ≤640px. Per-school removal still works on
the /compare page itself. Desktop unaffected.

MOB-01: At ≤640px the top inline nav is hidden and replaced by a
fixed bottom tab bar (Search / Compare / Rankings / Admissions) with
icon + label, 56px tap targets, env(safe-area-inset-bottom) padding,
and the Compare count rendered as a badge on the icon. Eliminates
horizontal page overflow on every route (docW was 401–429 at vw 390;
now docW === vw).
MOB-02: Logo link gains a padded hit area so the touch target is
≥44×44 (was 36×36), without resizing the visual mark.
ComparisonToast lifted above the new bottom bar on mobile so the two
do not stack on top of each other. body gets a bottom padding equal
to the bar height + safe-area inset so page content is never hidden.
