   MECANDRIA — Built by Mecandria (page-specific; loaded only on this page)
   Classes are prefixed .bm- so nothing leaks into other pages.

   An editorial case-study experience, not a gallery:
   hero (assembling layers) → philosophy → selected builds with filter and
   transition statements → how a build evolves → how we build → what we
   build → explore more → CTA.

   Content rule: only Mecandria ERP and Mecandria HMS are published builds
   (real screenshots, verified modules). Anything else is a marked placeholder.
