- Replace JS isMobile/resize listener with <picture> + <source media> so the browser picks mobile vs desktop image natively, eliminating the SSR hydration flash - Change mobile breakpoint from (max-width: 850px), (orientation: portrait) to (max-width: 850px) and (orientation: portrait) so large portrait windows (e.g. half-screen 4K) don't get the mobile layout - Switch object-fit from contain to cover to eliminate the letterbox gap that exposed the CSS background color (fixes Dark Reader two-tone artifact) - Remove transform: scale(0.95) which was adding extra exposed background
- Revert object-fit back to contain (cover was hiding intentional orange background above the image) - Restore transform: scale(0.95) with transform-origin: center bottom - Update scale media query to complement the new mobile condition: (min-width: 851px), (orientation: landscape) instead of the old (min-width: 851px) and (orientation: landscape)

Summary
Fixes two issues with the homepage hero section's image selection and layout logic.
isMobile+ resize listener) with a native<picture>+<source media>element, so the browser picks the correct image before any JS runs — eliminating the SSR hydration flash on mobile(max-width: 850px), (orientation: portrait)(OR) to(max-width: 850px)(width only), so large portrait windows on desktop (e.g. a half-screen 4K monitor) no longer incorrectly get the mobile layoutscale(0.95)media query to the complement:(min-width: 851px)Note: landscape mobile did not look great before this PR either — this is a pre-existing limitation, not a regression.
