/**
 * ParticleHero — public entry to the WebGL particle background.
 *
 * Responsibilities (kept OUT of ParticleField so that component can
 * assume happy-path WebGL2):
 *
 *   1. WebGL2 missing → static gradient.
 *   2. Mobile / low-power profile → either 16k particles or skip.
 *   3. prefers-reduced-motion → still WebGL + cursor tracking, but
 *      capped at 16k particles with halved drift and halved push
 *      velocity. The ring still follows the cursor at full fidelity
 *      because that's the interaction the user explicitly wants; we
 *      only damp the *ambient* motion so the field reads as calm.
 *   4. Lazy-load Three.js via next/dynamic so the hero LCP text isn't
 *      blocked by ~150kb of WebGL plumbing.
 *
 * The static fallback is a CSS-only radial gradient + faint dot mask.
 * It looks intentional, not broken — same color story as the live
 * particle field, just without motion.
