   HOME PAGE — "Wave" client-engagements carousel.
   Loaded after main.css. Scoped under .wave- so nothing here can
   collide with the shared header classes in main.css.

   Behavior lives in assets/js/coverflow.js — this file only styles
   the section chrome and positions each card via CSS variables that
   the script writes to card.style.transform. Card content (name,
   category, description, meta) is populated by the script from the
   PROJECTS data array — do not hardcode card markup here.
