Fix the mobile navigation drawer, which painted a 64px strip

The bar carries the drafts' translucent ground with
`backdrop-filter: blur(14px)`, and a filtered element becomes the containing
block for every position:fixed descendant (CSS Filter Effects 1 s.6.1). The
drawer was rendered inside that header, so its `fixed inset-0` resolved
against the 64px bar rather than the viewport. Measured on the built page at
390x844, the panel came out 390x64: a strip of drawer background at the top,
the menu spilling over the hero with nothing painted behind it, and the page
underneath scroll-locked. The header is also a stacking context
(z-index: var(--layer-header)), so an aria-modal dialog nested inside it
could never rise above anything painted above the bar.

The drawer is now portalled to <body>, which resolves the containing block
and the stacking context at once, and is where a modal dialog belongs
regardless. The portal mounts one commit after hydration so the first client
render still matches the server's; nothing is lost, because the trigger is a
button with an onClick - without JavaScript the drawer could not be opened
at all - and every link in it already ships in the server-rendered
DesktopNav markup.

The inert walk benefits too. It inerts each ancestor's OTHER children up to
<body>, which previously could not reach the header without inerting the
drawer inside it; from the portal, body's other children are exactly the
header, main and footer.

Also gives the hamburger and its close twin a 44x44 hit area. They were
24x24, under the WCAG 2.5.5 target size; a logical negative inline-end
margin keeps the glyph on the same page gutter the wordmark opposite it
uses, so it still mirrors in Arabic.

Verified in a headless browser against the production build at 390x844: the
panel fills the viewport in both locales and mirrors under dir="rtl", focus
moves to Close on open and back to the trigger on Escape, the scroll lock
and the inert flags are set and cleared, and the desktop nav is unchanged -
three group triggers and a working dropdown at 1440px, the hamburger at
1279px.
