* Derivatives for the landing hero artwork.

*
* Source of truth is assets/hero-source.png (1672×941). It is committed so
* these can be regenerated: never hand-edit anything in public/brand/hero-*,
* change the source or the numbers here and re-run.
*
* TWO CROPS, ON PURPOSE
* ---------------------
* The hero slot is not one shape. On desktop the artwork sits behind the whole
* panel at roughly 2.1:1 → 2.7:1; below the one-column breakpoint it collapses
* to a band between 2.6:1 and 4.9:1. A single file under `object-fit: cover`
* centre-crops, which at the extremes slices a strip through the middle of the
* scene and loses the schoolhouse — the same failure the previous SVG hero had.
*
* So:
* wide the full frame, including the empty cream area the artwork reserves
* on the left for the headline. Used behind the desktop panel.
* band a crop around the schoolhouse and the path, already near 2.6:1, so
* the narrow band barely crops it at all. The school sits at ~65%
* across, which is why the CSS pairs this with object-position: 65%:
* squeezing further toward 4.9:1 crops the empty sides, not the subject.
*
* AVIF and WebP are both emitted. This is flat-shaded vector-style artwork, so
* AVIF lands roughly an order of magnitude under the source PNG. Both crops
* also get a JPEG: the wide one backs the , and the band one backs a
* — without it a browser taking neither modern format would
* fall through to the desktop frame on a phone, since cannot vary by
* viewport.
*
* sharp is declared in devDependencies rather than leaned on as a transitive
* dependency of next. It does currently arrive that way, but relying on that
* means a Next upgrade can silently break this script — the same reasoning as
* the outputFileTracingIncludes note in next.config.js.

* Band crop, in source pixels, measured against the artwork rather than
* guessed: the schoolhouse spans roughly x 1420–1860, y 420–660, with its flag
* up at y 330.
*
* The crop is flush to the right edge because it has to be. The school sits at
* about 82% across the frame, so there is only ~140px of artwork to its right
* — not enough to centre it. Anchoring right and taking 1050px back puts the
* school at ~66% across the crop, which is what BAND_FOCUS_X below reports to
* the CSS so the narrowest band crops the empty left side rather than the
* subject.
