Subject: [PATCH] fix(ui): remove redundant app-shell top gap (sticky nav
 double-offset)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Every view showed a large empty band at the top (operator-flagged during the
Vuetify-4 review; pre-existing). Cause: .fc-content had padding-top:64px to clear
the navbar, but TopNav is position:sticky and already reserves its own space in
the v-app flex column — the 64px was a fixed-navbar leftover that double-counted
the offset. Removed it; content now flows directly below the sticky nav (and the
full-height calc(100vh-64px) views no longer overflow).
