/* Mobile button hardening.
   Problem: .btn has white-space: nowrap so uppercase mono labels like
   "STRATEGIEGESPRÄCH BUCHEN (60 MIN., 190 €)" overflow their container
   on viewports below ~400px (observed on iPhone SE-class devices).
   Width 100% in .cta-row doesn't help — the TEXT itself refuses to break.
   Fix: allow wrapping on small viewports, slightly tighten letter-spacing,
   reduce --lg padding so more horizontal room is available for glyphs.
