`mobile-app-frame`

A phone-sized app frame: skip link, header, scrolling screen, optional footer and bottom nav. Host chrome; agents never emit it.

**Logical CSS, so right-to-left mirrors correctly.** Layouts compose with logical CSS properties (inline-size, inset-inline-start), so right-to-left locales mirror without component changes, and full-page layouts render real landmarks (main, banner, contentinfo).
