/* EDFM: three small, purely presentational enhancements. None are required
* for the site to function -- all degrade gracefully with JS off -- and
* none are achievable in pure CSS, which is why they exist here instead
* of in MediaWiki:Common.css. Kept deliberately tiny: no framework, no
* build step, vanilla DOM APIs only.

/* 1. Eyebrow placement (see Template:Article header, .edfm-eyebrow in
* Common.css). MediaWiki always renders the real #firstHeading (the
* page's H1) before the article body in the DOM -- there is no
* template or CSS hook that lets wikitext content appear earlier than
* that. The eyebrow is authored as ordinary wikitext at the top of the
* article; this just moves that already-rendered, already-accessible
* element to sit visually above the title instead of below it. If this
* script doesn't run for any reason, the eyebrow still renders --
* directly under the title rather than above it -- so nothing breaks,
* this only affects placement.

* has no built-in current-page indication -- this compares each
* sidebar link's URL to the current page and flags the match so
* Common.css can style it (see .edfm-nav-current). Wrapped in try/catch
* per-link only so one malformed href can't stop the rest from being
* checked.

* is unambiguous, but action views (edit, history, diff, page
* info, ...) all route through the same /index.php pathname and
* are only distinguished by their query string (?action=edit vs
* ?action=info etc.) -- comparing pathname only would wrongly
* highlight every sidebar link that happens to also point at
* /index.php, e.g. "Page information" while actually viewing the
* edit-source screen.

/* 3. Jump-nav label shortening (2026-08-08, Engineer article layout
* pass). MediaWiki's native table of contents always mirrors a
* section's real ==Heading== text exactly -- there's no template or
* markup mechanism for a heading to carry a separate "short nav
* label". Article headings stay full and descriptive (e.g. "How to
* Receive an Invitation") since that's what reads well in the article
* body; this only shortens the *jump-nav tile* text afterwards, so the
* dense tile grid doesn't force long headings to wrap across two
* lines. Keyed by exact heading text, shared across all Engineer
* articles (same section names throughout, see Template:New engineer
* page) rather than being specific to any one page. Anything not in
* this list is left exactly as MediaWiki rendered it -- this only ever
* shortens, never invents nav text for a heading it doesn't recognise.
