/* ── Breaking-news ticker ───────────────────────────────────────────────
   The marquee mechanics — the flex track, the overflow clip, the scroll
   animation and its @keyframes — live in site.css / homepage.css, which the
   newspaper homepage does NOT load. Without them the ticker did not scroll and
   its items rendered broken/clipped ("breaking tab not working"). This block is
   self-contained so it works regardless of which shell stylesheet set the bar
   colour. The blade duplicates the item set, so translateX(-50%) advances
   exactly one full set → a seamless loop. Hover (or focus) pauses it so a
   moving headline can be read and clicked. */
