ADDED - Frame site content in a macOS-style shell window on an ambient desktop

- Wrap #smooth-wrapper in an .app-shell: a fixed, inset, rounded, bordered
  panel. Its transform makes it the containing block for the fixed wrapper, so
  ScrollSmoother sizes the scroll viewport to the shell (content scrolls inside
  it) without fighting ScrollSmoother's inline styles.
- Dock and corner controls stay outside the shell, on a brand-tinted 'desktop'
  wallpaper painted on body.
- Reduced-motion path: the shell scrolls its content natively.
