fix: header sticky positioning regression

Changed header from sticky to fixed positioning and added proper margin offset
(mt-20) to main element to prevent content from being covered. The fixed header
now stays at the top during scroll while content renders below it properly.

- Fixed header: changed from sticky to fixed with left-0 right-0 full width
- Main spacing: added mt-20 margin-top with relative z-10 preserved
- Restored z-index layering for content positioning

Also added Week 3 completion documentation and Week 4 planning files:
- WEEK3-COMPLETION.md: Comprehensive audit of Week 3 implementation
- WEEK3-4-TRANSITION.md: Handoff document with git workflow
- WEEK4-PLAN.md: Full technical roadmap for Week 4 forms & interactions
- PROGRESS-STATUS-WEEK4.txt: Updated cumulative progress tracking
- Updated HANDOFF.md with Week 3 summary and Week 4 readiness

+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+BLOCKERS / RISKS
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+✅ **Week 1–3:** No blockers. All objectives achieved, no regressions.
+
+⚠️  **Week 4 Potential Risks:**
+  • Form styling complexity (many states, variants)
+  • Modal focus management (ensure proper trap, restore)
+  • Alpine.js validation performance (real-time feedback)
+  • Responsive form layouts (multi-column on desktop, single on mobile)
+
+Mitigation:
+  • Build incrementally (inputs first, then selects, checkboxes)
+  • Test modals thoroughly with keyboard navigation
+  • Profile Alpine.js performance if validation is slow
+  • Use Tailwind utilities for responsive layout (@sm, @lg breakpoints)
+
