IntersectionObserver misses instant scroll jumps; use a one-sided rootMargin region for scroll-position thresholds

An IntersectionObserver watching a bounded region never fires when a programmatic scrollTo jumps the target from below-viewport to above-viewport in one frame: no intersecting frame is ever presented, so no crossing event occurs. Model the threshold as a one-sided region with a huge rootMargin (e.g. '100000px 0px -64px 0px') so any jump crosses its single boundary.

Field-only mobile CLS from scroll-driven bottom-sheet expand/collapse (Lighthouse reads 0.00)

GSC/CrUX can report poor mobile CLS (>0.25) while Lighthouse and page-load lab probes read ~0.00. Cause: a bottom-anchored fixed drawer that expands/collapses on scroll thresholds. Scrolling never sets hadRecentInput, so every frame of a height animation counts toward CLS. Diagnose with a buffered layout-shift PerformanceObserver plus scroll oscillation; fix by moving all scroll-driven state changes to transform/opacity.

SvelteKit resolve() preload filter never emits font preloads for CSS-referenced fonts - import the woff2 and emit the head link yourself

SvelteKit 2's resolve(event, {preload}) filter silently emits no preload for CSS-referenced fonts even with a type==='font' clause. Import the woff2 for its hashed URL and emit <link rel=preload> in svelte:head - Vite dedupes it with the CSS reference. Fixed a 0.245 font-swap CLS.
