   Below 1080px — and on any device that can't hover — the shape-shift
   interaction is dropped entirely. Every card opens to a fixed height,
   full width, single column, with its panel already visible: nothing a
   touch user could only ever see by hovering.

   any-hover (not hover) is deliberate: `hover: none` matches whenever the
   *primary* pointer can't hover, which is true on many real "bigger
   screen" setups — touch-enabled external monitors, hybrid touch+mouse
   displays — even though a perfectly good mouse is also available there.
   That was collapsing the 3-card hover layout to one column with no
   hover on exactly those big screens. any-hover: none only matches when
   NO available input can hover at all, i.e. genuinely touch-only.
