+             2026-09-28 on mobile: the Card deck options tape "is underlapping everything … really
+             bad on mobile". Cause: .pstocks hangs at top:100%, i.e. BELOW its own card and over the
+             next one, but every .card is position:relative with NO z-index — so they all sit at the
+             same stacking level and LATER cards paint over earlier ones in document order. The
+             tape's own z-index:2 only orders it WITHIN its card, which is why it looked fine on the
+             last card of a row and disappeared under the next one everywhere else. It is worse on a
+             phone because the grid is one column, so the very next card is directly beneath.
+             Raising the CARD lifts its whole stacking context above its siblings. -->
