Geometry is computed at build time; single stroke in `--ink`. Each drawing is laid out by hand, so the `viewBox` is derived from the points as they are emitted, not assumed: a square centred on the drawing, padded for the stroke. A new kind can therefore never be clipped, and the card gives the drawing the flexible row so it sits centred between title and body. |

+## The card drawings
+
+The objects on the stage cards ("What we do.") and the product cards do not animate on arrival;
+they are simply drawn. Hovering a card sets `--object-grid`, which the drawing answers by letting
+its grid recede to 26% while the lines that carry the idea stay: the cube's own edges, the tile
+lifted out of the plane, the wave's profiles, the inner cube inside its shell, the column to fix
+first. The card also sets `--object-scale`. Both are custom properties the card owns and the
+drawing responds to, so the interaction lives with the card and the response with the drawing.
+It is behind `@media (hover: hover)` so touch never sticks in it, and it is the same language as
+the hover focus on the product page schematics.
