/*!
 * PunjabiTime News — homepage HERO slider (Phase 1, 2026-08-23).
 *
 * Converts the single large left lead story into a 5-story slider WITHOUT
 * changing the hero's design: each slide contains the same .pt-hero-card--lead
 * markup as before, so typography, spacing, the 16/9 no-crop image frame and
 * the overall identity are inherited unchanged from punjabitime-home.css.
 *
 * Deliberately mirrors the existing .pt-tech-slider control language (same
 * pill dots, same circular arrows, same overlay footprint) so the homepage has
 * one consistent slider vocabulary. The two sliders are otherwise completely
 * independent: different class prefix, different stylesheet, different script.
 *
 * NOTE: no object-fit override here. The Tech slider forces `cover` because its
 * thumbnails are true 16:9; the hero keeps the site-wide `contain` treatment so
 * headline text baked into lead images is never cropped.
 *
 * Loaded on the front page only, after punjabitime-home.css.
