 /*
- * Dialog keyboard-aware sheet override (touch devices only).
- *
- * History: #622/#623 tried two earlier strategies — pinning the dialog
- * via a `:has(:focus)` rule sized with `100dvh`, and a JS scroll hook
- * — both kept the focused field hidden behind the iOS keyboard. Two
- * facts made that approach unfixable:
- *   1) Safari iOS/iPadOS ignores `interactive-widget=resizes-content`,
- *      so `100dvh` does NOT shrink when the keyboard opens. The rule
- *      fired but the height it used was always the full screen, so the
- *      dialog still ran behind the keyboard.
- *   2) The rule was also unconditional. On desktop, focusing any input
- *      inside a Radix `DialogContent` instantly stretched the dialog
- *      to `width:100vw top:0`, colliding with Radix's open-state slide
- *      animation transforms and rendering the dialog as a broken strip
- *      pinned in the top-left corner.
- *
- * Fix:
- *   • Gate the rule with `@media (any-pointer: coarse)` so the desktop
- *     case is untouched.
- *   • Drive the size from `--vv-height` / `--vv-offset-top` — CSS
- *     variables that `useVisualViewportVars` (in App.tsx) updates from
- *     `window.visualViewport` on every keyboard / chrome / orientation
- *     change. `visualViewport` is the one signal iOS does keep
- *     accurate, including in standalone PWAs.
- *   • Fall back to `100vh` / `0` when the vars haven't been written
- *     yet (first paint, or on browsers without `visualViewport`).
- *
- * `.dialog-vv-wrapper` is for full-screen overlay wrappers (used by
- * `AdminFormDialog` and similar bespoke modals) where `role="dialog"`
- * sits on a NON-fixed inner card. Adding the class to the outer
- * `position: fixed` overlay makes IT shrink with the keyboard, so the
- * inner card — centred inside it — stays in the visible band.
+ * (Reverted) Earlier attempts (#622, #623, #624) added a global
+ * `[role="dialog"]:has(:focus)` override + companion JS hooks to keep
+ * the focused field above the iOS soft keyboard. Each iteration
+ * regressed desktop browsers — on a touch-screen laptop the rule
+ * fired on every input focus and broke Radix dialog layout (narrow
+ * strip in the top-left). The rule, the helper class
+ * (`.dialog-vv-wrapper`), and the global hooks are removed here.
+ * Dialogs now render with their original Radix / consumer styles on
+ * every device. The iOS keyboard issue will be revisited with a
+ * targeted, per-dialog approach instead of a global override.
