/**
* TIME FIELD TWEAK — hide seconds + force "00"
*
* What it does:
* - Finds every `.form-item.time` block.
* - Sets the seconds input `.field-element[data-title="Second"]` to "00".
* - Hides the seconds UI `.field.second.two-digits` via `style.display = "none"`.
*
* When it runs:
* - On `DOMContentLoaded`.
* - On `mercury:load` (Squarespace’s AJAX/PJAX page-change event).
*
* Why:
* - We don’t need seconds; this keeps the UI cleaner and standardises submitted values.
*
* Notes:
* - Safe to remove if you later want users to pick seconds.
* - If Squarespace changes markup, update the selectors above.
* - Logs a credit message to the console (“Soundfocus Digital”).
