/* ============================================================
   VISIT USA — in-page overlay (Sections 1 → 2 → 3)
   Rebuilt from image-data/Section-1.png · Section-2.png · Section-3.png

   Opened by the sticky bottom nav's "Visit USA" button. It is an
   OVERLAY, not a page: window.location is never touched, so the
   session / live-call state survives.

   Layout is MOBILE-FIRST (the mocks are portrait phone frames);
   the @media block only scales the same design up for wider screens.

   Everything is scoped under .vu-overlay and prefixed .vu- so it
   cannot collide with the existing .uh-* home skin.
