/* 20261019-fab-life (Obie FIRE 2:10 PM "Fire fab life") — LAB. Isolated patch: this file + src/fab-life.js + 2 tags in index.html.
   1) Gold breath: #fab::before halo, opacity + transform only, 8s cycle (glow ~1.2s, then rest). Behind the bolt (z-index -1 inside #fab's stacking context).
   2) Something's-new dot: span.fab-new-dot inside #fab (JS adds it only when DROP_THIS_WEEK.n != seen key). Pulses twice, then holds.
   No layout: both absolute, pointer-events none. #fab size/position/glyph untouched. Reduced motion: no animation at all. */
