+ * and RTL, the trigger is pushed to the inline-end): the trigger sits flush at
+ * the edge and provides its own inset (its centred glyph box), instead of the
+ * input's full text padding adding a second, larger gap. Lives here (global +
+ * archetype-keyed) so it covers EVERY field on every page, and outranks each
+ * `[data-x-field-input]` padding rule (0,2,0 > 0,1,0) regardless of load order.
