+
+feat(banner): add pushDown option to push content down instead of overlay
+
+Add optional `pushDown` config to banner plugin that allows top banners to smoothly push page content down (add margin-top) instead of overlaying it.
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+init({
+  banner: {
+    position: 'top',
+    pushDown: 'header' // CSS selector of element to push down
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Opt-in feature (default behavior unchanged)
+- Smooth transition with CSS animations
+- Improves UX for sticky navigation
+- Automatically removes margin when banner is dismissed
+
