  /* ═══ SECTION STACK (Apple-style scroll pin) ═══
     Cards must share one direct parent (see .stack-group in index.html) —
     a sticky element's release point is bound by its containing block, and
     with no shared wrapper that block was <body>, so the pinned card never
     released until the bottom of the entire page (the original scroll-trap
     bug). With a wrapper sized to just these cards, sticky elements release
     the instant that wrapper's content is exhausted, i.e. right on cue.
     Only non-.stack-end cards get position:sticky — each pins at the top and
     the next card (higher z-index) scrolls up over it, covering it, which
     reads as one card landing on top of the other. The LAST card in the
     chain (.stack-end) stays un-sticky so it just slides over the pinned
     card(s) and hands scroll off normally to whatever follows the group. */

  /* The pinned card is often shorter than the viewport, so with the
     normal -32px overlap the next card starts sliding over it almost
     immediately — before there's been any real time to see it. A
     positive gap here delays that slide until the viewport has had a
     proper beat on the pinned card first. Desktop viewports run taller
     on average than mobile, hence the smaller base value here. */
