/**
 * The element that Element Call treats as the root of its own interface.
 *
 * Element Call decorates this element with the theme, layout and background
 * attributes its stylesheets key off, and portals its modals into it. When
 * Element Call owns the page this is simply the document body; the intent is
 * that when embedded in a host application it becomes the container the host
 * mounted it into, so that Element Call does not reach outside its own subtree.
 *
 * That intent is not yet achievable: several selectors still name `body`
 * directly — `body[data-background="gradient"]` and `body[data-platform=…]` in
 * `index.css`, and `body[data-platform="ios"]` in `AppBar.module.css` and
 * `Modal.module.css` — and `Initializer.initBeforeReact` writes
 * `data-platform` straight onto the body. So anything other than the body will
 * be decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, silently. Until those are
 * scoped, treat this as preparation rather than a working seam.
